We report on Day 2 of the virtual summer AAS meeting.
The fastest Main Sequence star yet probably came from the Galactic Center.
Professor Elisabeth Mills studies one of the most mysterious regions of the Milky Way: the galactic center. Learn about the stars, gas, and a black hole that make this such an exciting area of research ahead of her talk at #AAS234.
When it zips past the Galactic Center black hole in 2018, how would a possible binarity of the star S0-2 affect the detectability of its relativistic motion?
The Milky Way is known to host a supermassive black hole and dozens of featherweight ones. This paper describes the discovery of the second-most-massive known black hole in the galaxy.
