We report new infrared (IR) measurements of the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center, Sgr A∗, over a decade that was previously inaccessible at these wavelengths. This enables a variability study that addresses variability timescales that are 10 times longer than earlier published studies. Sgr A∗ was initially detected in the near-infrared (NIR) with adaptive optics observations in 2002. While earlier data exists in form… CONTINUE READING
