Isolated, Massive Supergiants near the Galactic Center
We have carried out a pilot project to assess the feasibility of using radio, infrared, and X-ray emission to identify young, massive stars located between 1 and 25 pc from the Galactic center. We first compared catalogs compiled from the Very Large Array, the Chandra X-ray Observatory, and 2MASS. We identified two massive, young stars: the previously-identified star that is associated with the...
متن کاملMetallicities of 4 blue supergiants near the Galactic centre
High resolution optical spectra of four blue super-giants (HD148422 B0.5 Ib; HD178487 B0.5 Ib; HD179407 B1 Ib, HD163522 B1 Ib) which lie within 4.5 kpc of the Galac-tic centre are presented. Careful differential LTE model atmosphere analyses are used to quantify the differences in photo-spheric metal abundances between these stars and MK spectral standards in the solar neighborhood. A detailed ...
متن کاملMassive perturbers in the galactic center
We investigate the role of massive perturbers, such as stellar clusters or giant molecular clouds, in supplying low-angular momentum stars that pass very close to the central massive black hole (MBH) or fall into it. We show that massive perturbers can play an important role in supplying both binaries and single stars to the vicinity of the MBH. We discuss possible implications for the ejection...
متن کاملNear-Infrared Microlensing of Stars by the Super-Massive Black Hole in the Galactic Center
We investigate microlensing amplification of faint stars in the dense stellar cluster in the Galactic Center by the super-massive black hole, which is thought to coincide with the radio source SgrA . Such amplification events would appear very close to the position of SgrA , and could be observed, in principle, during the monitoring of stellar proper motions in the Galactic Center. We use obser...
متن کاملNear-Infrared Polarimetry toward the Galactic Center
Near-infrared polarimetry of point sources reveals the presence of a toroidal magnetic field in the central 20’ x 20’ region of our Galaxy. Comparing the Stokes parameters between high extinction stars and relatively low extinction ones, we have obtained a polarization originating from magnetically aligned dust grains at the central region of our Galaxy of at most 1-2 kpc. The derived direction...
