Coordinated NIR/mm observations of flare emission from Sagittarius A*

arXiv:1008.1560 · doi:10.1051/0004-6361/200913613

Abstract

We report on a successful, simultaneous observation and modelling of the millimeter (mm) to near-infrared (NIR) flare emission of the Sgr A* counterpart associated with the supermassive black hole at the Galactic centre (GC). We present a mm/sub-mm light curve of Sgr A* with one of the highest quality continuous time coverages and study and model the physical processes giving rise to the variable emission of Sgr A*.
