Monitoring the Galactic Center with ATCA
Abstract
Abhijeets Borkar
Monitoring the Galactic Center with ATCA
The center of the Milky Way hosts a highly variable radio, NIR
& X-ray source, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) which is associated with a 4
million solar mass super-massive black hole (SMBH). Sgr A* is known to
have a flaring activity occurring from a few hours to few days which has
been observed at X-ray and NIR wavelengths with radio/sub-mm flare
following approximately 100 min later. This suggests that Sgr A*
undergoes accretion events sporadically. To study the underlying
mechanism of the flaring of Sgr A*, we have observed the Galactic Center
with ATCA. In this talk, I will present the first results of these
observations of the GC.
If you would like to give a seminar in our group, please contact Vladimir Karas or Jaroslav Hamersky.
