"VLTI/GRAVITY observations of the Galactic Center"

Krzysztof Nalewajko (CAMK, Warsaw)

I will present the results of extremely precise astrometric near-infrared observations of the Galactic Center, including the massive black hole Sgr A* and a nearby star S2 around its pericenter passage in May 2018, with the GRAVITY instrument on the ESO Very Large Telescope Interferometer. These results have been presented in the following publications: https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.09409 , https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.12641 , https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.04193 , https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.05721 , https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.08374

"New Discoveries regarding Fast Radio Bursts"

Morgane Fortin (CAMK, Warsaw)

The speaker will update us on the newest discoveries about FGRBs. The talk will be delivered in the seminar room and will be based on: "Periodic activity from a fast radio burst source" by the CHIME/FRB Collaboration https://arxiv.org/pdf/2001.10275.pdf
