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.

The fingerprint of primordial mass segregation on the tidal tails of star clusters
N-body simulations find that primordial mass segregation imprints denser, unified tidal tails with bottom-heavy mass functions on star clusters, with effects strongest early and at small R_G but converging later.

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$^\star$
