The time-variable emission from the accretion flow of Sgr A*, the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center, has long been examined in the radio-to-mm, near-infrared (NIR), and X-ray regimes of the electromagnetic spectrum. However,…
Context. The compact radio and near-infrared (NIR) source Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) associated with the supermassive black hole in the Galactic center was observed at 7 mm in the context of a NIR triggered global Very Long Baseline Array…
Understanding the origin of the flaring activity from the Galactic center supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*, is a major scientific goal of the NuSTAR Galactic plane survey campaign. We report on the data obtained between July 2012 and…
We report timing analysis of near-infrared (NIR), X-ray, and sub-millimeter (submm) data during a three-day coordinated campaign observing Sagittarius A*. Data were collected at 4.5 micron with the Spitzer Space Telescope, 2-8 keV with the…
(abridged) The massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, SagittariusA* is, in relative terms, the weakest accreting black hole accessible to observations. At the moment, the mean SED of SgrA* is only known reliably in the radio to…
In 2019, Sgr A* - the supermassive black hole in the Galactic Center - underwent unprecedented flaring activity in the near infrared (NIR), brightening by up to a factor of 100 compared to quiescent values. Here we report ALMA observations…
Stellar dynamics indicate the presence of a super massive 3-4x10^6 Msun solm black hole at the Galactic Center. It is associated with the variable radio, near-infrared, and X-ray counterpart Sagittarius A* (SgrA*). The goal is the…
We present 44 and 226 GHz observations of the Galactic center within 20$"$ of Sgr A*. Millimeter continuum emission at 226 GHz is detected from eight stars that have previously been identified at near-IR and radio wavelengths. We also…

Emission from Sgr A* is highly variable at both X-ray and infrared (IR) wavelengths. Observations over the last ~20 years have revealed X-ray flares that rise above a quiescent thermal background about once per day, while faint X-ray flares…

Sgr A*, the 4 x 10^6 solar-mass supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center, exhibits frequent flaring with X-ray luminosities of L_X ~ 10^35--10^36 erg s^-1, while its ultraviolet (UV) emission remains unconstrained due to extreme…
Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) -- the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in the center of our galaxy -- has been observed in most of the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio to X-rays. Diffuse gamma-ray emission has been observed around Sgr A* and a…
