An improved distribution-function modeling technique applied to thousands of stars yields a 4 million solar-mass central black hole and a total mass of 2.0-2.3 x 10^7 solar masses within 10 pc of the Milky Way nucleus.
Derives an electrically charged generalization of the Kiselev black hole metric and studies charged particle orbits, finding prograde periapsis shifts for uncharged particles but possible retrograde shifts for charged ones.
Simulations demonstrate that a retrograde IMBH with mass ratio ~0.67 to the disc mass fragments a stellar disc into inner, misaligned, and outer components within 10-20 Myr.
GRMHD models show PA1 aligns with the approaching limb for high spins, enabling mild disfavoring of low spins and strong disfavoring of Earth-pointing spins in M87* from EHT data, with similar potential for Sgr A*.
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.
A search of repeating FRBs identifies RM flare candidates in FRB 20121102A, FRB 20201124A, and FRB 20180916B, suggesting such events may be common and tied to dynamic magneto-ionic environments.
Long-term X-ray monitoring indicates Swift J174610.4-290018 is a recurrent nova similar to RS Oph rather than an accretion-disk corona source.
Authors derive an exact metric solution for Schwarzschild black hole plus anisotropic dark matter halo fluid, with A(r)B(r) = 1 + O(10^{-6}) and smooth Darmois-Israel matching at the boundary.
A multi-wavelength SKA1-Mid continuum survey of ~290 pc × 60 pc around Sgr A* plus decade-long NSC monitoring can address remnant, pulsar, massive-star, star-formation and magnetic-field science with one dataset.
Simulations of accreting black holes in standard and complex spacetimes indicate that magnetic geometry, quantum corrections, and binary dynamics influence flares, precession, photon rings, and multi-wavelength variability, with potential EHT constraints.
Tidal stripping fails to explain missing bright red giants near Sgr A* as loss-cone diffusion scales too weakly with stellar radius compared to the rapid drop in red-giant lifetimes.
N-body simulations show that mutual interactions between Terzan 2, 4, and 5 raise mass-loss rates for the smaller clusters and drive prolate deformations absent in isolated runs.
A workshop report recommends anomaly detection on existing telescope data to search for technosignatures from advanced minds powered by supermassive black holes.
A review summarizing detection methods, population statistics, and coevolution of supermassive black holes with host galaxies from early universe observations and simulations.
