THE INTRINSIC SHAPE OF SAGITTARIUS A* AT 3.5 mm WAVELENGTH

The radio emission from Sgr A* is thought to be powered by accretion onto a supermassive black hole of ~4 x 10⁶M⊙ at the Galactic Center. At millimeter wavelengths, Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations can directly resolve the bright innermost accretion region of Sgr A*. Motivated b...
