Summary
Since the early 1990s, astronomers have been observing stars orbiting this black hole. Genzel, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2020, is a founding member of the team that made the new observations. Astronomy: This is the fastest star in the Milky Way.
Furthermore, About 40 such stars are now known. Based on its path, it could be possible in a few years to directly measure the rotation of a black hole for the first time, researchers write in the journal Nature. Since it comes so close to the black hole, S301 opens “a new window into the fundamental properties of space-time in this extreme environment,” says MPE Director Reinhard Genzel.
In addition, On its highly elliptical orbit, S301 gets closer to the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy than any other star. In the meantime, there are 19 precise position measurements that enable an accurate calculation of the orbit of S301.
