A Proposal for Enhancing Technosignature Search toward the Galactic Center

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We discuss the possibility of enhancing intelligent life searches toward the Galactic center. From the clockwork orbital motions of stars around the Sgr A* black hole, we can determine the distance to the Galactic center at an exceptional accuracy ...

Estimating the parameters of the Sgr A* black hole

open access: yes, 2010
The measurement of relativistic effects around the galactic center may allow in the near future to strongly constrain the parameters of the supermassive black hole likely present at the galactic center (Sgr A*).

G359.87+0.18: An FR II Radio Galaxy 15 Arcminutes from Sgr A*. Implications for the Scattering Region in the Galactic Center

open access: yes, 1998
G359.87+0.18 is an enigmatic object located 15' from Sgr A*. It has been variously classified as an extragalactic source, Galactic jet source, and young supernova remnant.

The black hole at the Galactic Center: observations and models in a nutshell [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The Galactic Center (Sgr A*) is a peculiar place in our Galaxy (Milky Way). Our Solar system is located at a distance around 8 kpc from the Galactic Center (GC).

High-energy tail of the Galactic Center gamma-ray excess [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Observations by the Fermi-LAT have uncovered a bright, spherically symmetric excess surrounding the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The spectrum of the gamma-ray excess peaks sharply at an energy ~2 GeV, exhibiting a hard spectrum at lower energies, and ...

High energy emission from the Galactic Center: Theory and observations

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
Galactic Centre is a bright γ-ray source with the GeV-TeV band spectrum composed of two distinct components in the 1–10 GeV and 1–10 TeV energy ranges. The nature of the two components is not clearly understood.

The Galactic Center GeV excess from a series of leptonic cosmic-ray outbursts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
It has been proposed that a recent outburst of cosmic-ray electrons could account for the excess of GeV-scale gamma rays observed from the region surrounding the Galactic Center.

Star Formation at the Galactic Center

open access: yes, 2009
Molecular clouds at the Galactic center (GC) have environments considerably different from their disk counterparts. The GC may therefore provide important clues about how the environment affects star formation.

Multiwavelength Observations of Sgr A*. II. 2019 July 21 and 26

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We report on the final two days of a multiwavelength campaign of Sgr A* observing in the radio, submillimeter, infrared (IR), and X-ray bands in 2019 July. Sgr A* was remarkably active, showing multiple flaring events across the electromagnetic spectrum.
