Toward Measuring the Microlensing Event Rate in the Galactic Center. I. Event Detection from the UKIRT Microlensing Survey Data

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
To overcome the high optical extinction, near-infrared (NIR) observations are needed for probing the microlensing events toward the Galactic center. The 2015–2019 UKIRT microlensing survey toward the Galactic center is the first dedicated precursor NIR ...

Mapping the Galactic Center [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1996
Gas and dust in the inner region of the Galaxy are distributed in a flat, disklike structure. We model the dynamics of this material in the framework of an accretion disk approach, and thus determine the efficiency of the radial transport of mass and angular momentum in the inner ∼ 200 pc of the Galactic Plane. Moreover, this allows us to establish the

Methanol Maser Emission from Galactic Center Sources with Excess 4.5 {\mu}m Emission

open access: yes, 2011
We present a study of signatures of on-going star formation in a sample of protostellar objects with enhanced 4.5 {\mu}m emission ('green' sources) near the Galactic center.

MONITORING STELLAR ORBITS AROUND THE MASSIVE BLACK HOLE IN THE GALACTIC CENTER [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We present the results of 16 years of monitoring stellar orbits around the massive black hole in the center of the Milky Way, using high-resolution near-infrared techniques.

Effective J -factor of the Galactic Center for velocity-dependent dark matter annihilation [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review D, 2018
We present the effective $J$-factors for the Milky Way for scenarios in which dark matter annihilation is p-wave or d-wave suppressed. We find that the velocity suppression of dark matter annihilation can have a sizable effect on the morphology of a ...

Limits on Supersymmetric Dark Matter From EGRET Observations of the Galactic Center Region [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
In most supersymmetic models, neutralino dark matter particles are predicted to accumulate in the Galactic center and annihilate generating, among other products, gamma rays.

An Extremely Low Mid-infrared Extinction Law toward the Galactic Center and 4% Distance Precision to 55 Classical Cepheids [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2018
Distances and extinction values are usually degenerate. To refine the distance to the general Galactic Center region, a carefully determined extinction law (taking into account the prevailing systematic errors) is urgently needed.

Origin of the S Stars in the Galactic Center [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2008
Over the last 15 years, around a hundred very young stars have been observed in the central parsec of our Galaxy. While the presence of young stars forming one or two stellar disks at approx. 0.1 pc from the supermassive black hole (SMBH) can be understood through star formation in accretion disks, the origin of the S stars observed a factor of 10 ...
