Prograde highly eccentric perturbers in a ringed isothermal disc circularize and accumulate at the ring, forming a migration trap, while retrograde perturbers migrate inward without re-intersecting.
An intermediate-mass companion to Sgr A* plus resonant relaxation in a depleting gas disk can simultaneously produce the observed orbits of S-stars, clockwise disk stars, and off-disk stars within their 6-15 Myr lifetimes.

Ionization Structure and Metal Enrichment of the Galactic Center Minispiral Observed with JWST
JWST MIRI MRS observations show the Galactic Center Minispiral gas has 1-2.5 solar metallicity, Wolf-Rayet driven ionization, significant Ni and Fe dust destruction, and harder radiation in compact structures near Sgr A*.

The complex kinematics of the young stars orbiting the supermassive black hole in the Galactic center can be explained by the presence of an intermediate mass companion of Sgr A$^\star$
An intermediate-mass companion to Sgr A* plus resonant relaxation in a depleting gas disk can simultaneously produce the observed orbits of S-stars, clockwise disk stars, and off-disk stars within their 6-15 Myr lifetimes.
