We present high-pass filtered NACO and SINFONI images of the newly discovered stars S4711-S4715 between 2004 and 2016. Our deep H+K-band (SINFONI) and K-band (NACO) data show the S-cluster star S4711 on a highly eccentric trajectory around Sgr~A* with an orbital period of 7.6 years and a periapse distance of 144 AU to the super massive black hole (SMBH). S4711 is hereby the star with the shortest orbital period and the smallest mean distance to the SMBH during its orbit to date. The used high… Expand
The gravitational capture of compact objects by massive black holes
The gravitational capture of a stellar-mass compact object (CO) by a supermassive black hole is a unique probe of gravity in the strong field regime. Because of the large mass ratio, we call theseExpand

The Short-period S-stars S4711, S62, S4714 and the Lense–Thirring Effect due to the Spin of Sgr A*
Recently, some S-stars (S4711, S62, S4714) orbiting the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in Sgr A$^\ast$ with short orbital periods ($7.6\,\mathrm{yr}\leq P_\mathrm{b}\leq 12\,\mathrm{yr}$) wereExpand
An Upper Limit on the Spin of SgrA* Based on Stellar Orbits in Its Vicinity

The spin of the massive black hole (BH) at the center of the Milky Way, SgrA$^*$, has been poorly constrained so far. We place an upper limit on the spin of SgrA$^*$ based on the spatial distributionExpand
