Based on Bremer et al. (2011) and Eckart et al. (2012) we report on simultaneous observations and modeling of the millimeter, near-infrared, and X-ray flare emission of the source Sagittarius A* (SgrA*) associated with the super-massive…

The supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) exhibits temporal and spectral variability across the electromagnetic spectrum. However, variability at radio frequencies below ~ 5 GHz for timescales shorter than a day remains largely…

We determine the characteristics of the 7mm to 20cm wavelength radio variability in Sgr A* on time scales from days to three decades. The amplitude of the intensity modulation is between 30 and 39% at all wavelengths. Analysis of uniformly…
