Stellar Orbits Near Sagittarius A*
The SHARP/NTT stellar proper motion data now cover an interval from 1992 to 2000 and allow us to determine orbital accelerations for some of the most central stars. We confirm the stellar acceleration measurements obtained by Ghez et al. (2000) with NIRC at the Keck telescope. Our analysis differs in 3 main points from that of Ghez et al.: 1) We combine the high precision but shorter time scale...
متن کاملA past capture event at Sagittarius A* inferred from the fluorescent X-ray emission of Sagittarius B clouds
The fluorescent X-ray emission from neutral iron in the molecular clouds (Sgr B) indicates that the clouds are being irradiated by an external X-ray source. The source is probably associated with the Galactic central black hole (Sgr A*), which triggered a bright outburst one hundred years ago. We suggest that such an outburst could be due to a partial capture of a star by Sgr A*, during which a...
متن کاملFluorescent Lyman-alpha Emission from Gas Near a QSO at Redshift 4.28
We use integral field spectroscopy with the Gemini North Telescope to detect probable fluorescent Lyα emission from gas lying close to the luminous QSO PSS 2155+1358 at redshift 4.28. The emission is most likely coming not from primordial gas, but from a multi-phase, chemically enriched cloud of gas lying about 50 kpc from the QSO. It appears to be associated with a highly ionised associated ab...
متن کاملPolarized CO emission from molecular clouds
Linearly polarized, non-masing, rotational lines have been detected for the first time in the interstellar medium. This effect occurs in molecular clouds with a magnetic field, and traces the field direction, offering an alternative technique to dust emission polarimetry. The line polarization mechanism is similar to that in masers, but with lower degrees of polarization (∼ 1 %). We have detect...
متن کاملImaging CO Emission in Gas Rich Galaxies at High Redshifts
Observations of the cold, dense gas at high redshifts directly address fundamental questions regarding the early evolution of galaxies and quasars. The Owens Valley Millimeter Array provides excellent sensitivity and resolutions better than 1 00. The spatial distribution of red-shifted CO emission is found to be resolved in most detected objects. For example, 1 kpc size scale for the CO emittin...
