Monitoring stellar orbits around the Massive Black Hole in the Galactic Center
- S. Gillessen, F. Eisenhauer, +4 authors T. Ott
- Physics
- 26 October 2008
We present the results of 16 years of monitoring stellar orbits around the massive black hole in the center of the Milky Way, using high-resolution near-infrared techniques. This work refines our… Expand
THE SINS SURVEY: SINFONI INTEGRAL FIELD SPECTROSCOPY OF z ∼ 2 STAR-FORMING GALAXIES*
- N. F. Schreiber, R. Genzel, +27 authors M. Onodera
- Physics
- 10 March 2009
We present the Spectroscopic Imaging survey in the near-infrared (near-IR) with SINFONI (SINS) of high-redshift galaxies. With 80 objects observed and 63 detected in at least one rest-frame optical… Expand
Sinfoni in the galactic center : Young stars and infrared flares in the central light-month
- F. Eisenhauer, R. Genzel, +18 authors S. Zucker
- Physics
- 20 July 2005
We report on 75 mas resolution, near-IR imaging spectroscopy within the central 30 lt-days of the Galactic center, taken with the new adaptive optics-assisted integral-field spectrometer SINFONI on… Expand
The two young star disks in the central parsec of the galaxy: properties, dynamics and formation
- T. Paumard, R. Genzel, +22 authors Tel Aviv Univ.
- Physics
- 12 January 2006
We report the definite spectroscopic identification of 40 OB supergiants, giants and main sequence stars in the central parsec of the Galaxy. Detection of their absorption lines have become possible… Expand
The galactic center massive black hole and nuclear star cluster
- R. Genzel, F. Eisenhauer, S. Gillessen
- Physics
- 1 June 2010
The Galactic Center is an excellent laboratory for studying phenomena and physical processes that may be occurring in many other galactic nuclei. The Center of our Milky Way is by far the closest… Expand
A low level of extragalactic background light as revealed by γ-rays from blazars
- F. Aharonian, A. G. Akhperjanian, +99 authors S. Wagner
- Physics
- Nature
- 2 August 2005
The diffuse extragalactic background light consists of the sum of the starlight emitted by galaxies through the history of the Universe, and it could also have an important contribution from the… Expand
SINFONI Integral Field Spectroscopy of z ~ 2 UV-selected Galaxies: Rotation Curves and Dynamical Evolution*
- N. F. Schreiber, R. Genzel, +14 authors A. Sternberg
- Physics
- 21 March 2006
We present ~0".5 resolution near-infrared integral field spectroscopy of the Hα line emission of 14 z ~ 2 UV-selected BM/BX galaxies, obtained with SINFONI at the ESO Very Large Telescope. The… Expand
AN EXTREMELY TOP-HEAVY INITIAL MASS FUNCTION IN THE GALACTIC CENTER STELLAR DISKS
- H. Bartko, F. Martins, +19 authors A. Sternberg
- Physics
- 15 August 2009
We present new observations of the nuclear star cluster in the central parsec of the Galaxy with the adaptive optics assisted, integral field spectrograph SINFONI on the ESO/VLT. Our work allows the… Expand
Discovery of very-high-energy γ-rays from the Galactic Centre ridge
- F. Aharonian, A. G. Akhperjanian, +99 authors S. Wagner
- Physics
- Nature
- 9 February 2006
The source of Galactic cosmic rays (with energies up to 1015 eV) remains unclear, although it is widely believed that they originate in the shock waves of expanding supernova remnants. At present the… Expand
THE ORBIT OF THE STAR S2 AROUND SGR A* FROM VERY LARGE TELESCOPE AND KECK DATA
- S. Gillessen, F. Eisenhauer, +5 authors R. Genzel
- Physics
- 16 October 2009
Two recent papers (Ghez et al. 2008; Gillessen et al. 2009) have estimated the mass of and the distance to the massive black hole (MBH) in the center of the Milky Way using stellar orbits. The two… Expand
