The dark mass concentration in the central parsec of the Milky Way
We report ∼1″ resolution K-band (2 μm) imaging spectroscopy of the central parsec of our Galaxy. The derived radial velocities for 223 early- and late-type stars probe the nuclear mass distribution to spatial scales of 0.1 pc. We find a statistically very significant increase of projected stellar ve...
