The Orbital Structure and Selection Effects of the Galactic Center S-star Cluster
The orbital distribution of the S-star cluster surrounding the supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way is analyzed. A tight dependence of the pericenter distance r _p on orbital eccentricity e _⋆ is found, $\mathrm{log}({r}_{{\rm{p}}})\sim (1-{e}_{\star })$ , which cannot be explained...
