Infrared Observations of the Galactic Center

Sebastiano Von Fellenberg (University of Toronto) 鈥� June 17, 2025

Abstract

I will present various observations of the Galactic Center, focusing on the central few arcseconds around Sgr A*, the massive black hole at the heart of our galaxy. I will begin by discussing the nuclear star cluster, then present current infrared and X-ray flare observations of Sgr A* using multiwavelength data from GRAVITY, Spitzer, and JWST in the near- to mid-infrared, as well as NuSTAR and Chandra in the X-ray. Finally, I will offer an outlook on the potential to detect the dark cluster of compact objects surrounding Sgr A* with future ELTs.
