Abstract
Parametrized Post-Newtonian (PPN) equations of motion for several S-stars nearest to the Galactic Center compact relativistic object SgrA* are considered. The effect of the orbital periods difference between Newtonian and Post-Newtonian cases is taken into account. The best fit PN orbit of S2 has a period which is 16 days longer than Newtonian one. The PPN parameters and are measured. Bayesian sampling is used to fit the trajectories of the PPN laws of motion. Posterior estimates of and are and respectively. The result confirms General Relativity prediction for the Post-Newtonian equations of motion in the conditions of orbital motions in vicinity of the SgrA*.
