Empirically determining the averaged variations of the orbital parameters of the stars orbiting the Supermassive Black Hole (SBH) hosted by the Galactic center (GC) in Sgr ${\mathrm{A}}^{*}$ is, in principle, a valuable tool to test the General Theory of Relativity (GTR), in regimes far stronger than those tested so far, and certain key predictions of it like the no-hair'' theorems. We analytically work out the long-term variations of all the six osculating Keplerian orbital elements of a…

### Periapsis and gravitomagnetic precessions of stellar orbits in Kerr and Kerr–de Sitter black hole spacetimes

The exact solution for the motion of a test particle in a non-spherical polar orbit around a Kerr black hole is derived. Exact novel expressions for frame dragging (Lense–Thirring effect), periapsis

### TOWARD RELATIVISTIC ORBIT FITTING OF GALACTIC CENTER STARS AND PULSARS

• Physics
• 2010
The S stars orbiting the Galactic center black hole reach speeds of up to a few percent the speed of light during pericenter passage. This makes, for example, S2 at pericenter much more relativistic

### A rotating black hole in the galactic center.

• Physics
• 1992
Recent observations of Sgr A* give strong constraints for possible models of the physical nature of Sgr A* and suggest the presence of a massive black hole with M ≤ 2 . 10 6 M ○ . surrounded by an

### Measuring spin of a supermassive black hole at the Galactic Centre - Implications for a unique spin

• Physics
• 2010
We determine the spin of a supermassive black hole in the context of discseismology by comparing newly detected quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) of radio emission in the Galactic centre,

### The Position of Sagittarius A*. III. Motion of the Stellar Cusp

• Physics
• 2007
In the first two papers of this series, we determined the position of Sgr A* on infrared images by aligning the positions of red giant stars with positions measured at radio wavelengths for their

### High Proper-Motion Stars in the Vicinity of Sagittarius A*: Evidence for a Supermassive Black Hole at the Center of Our Galaxy

• Physics
• 1998
Over a 2 year period we have conducted a diffraction-limited imaging study at 2.2 μm of the inner 6'' × 6'' of the central stellar cluster of the Galaxy using the W. M. Keck 10 m telescope. The
