"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
