Dear all, 

Astro Journal club starts on Wednesday at 3 p.m. (sharp) in the seminar room F-201 of the Physics Department. 

Presenter: Ivana Ćesić

Title: The sellar cusp around the Milky Way’s central black hole

Authors: R. Schodel, P. Amaro-Seoane, E. Gallego-Cano

Abstract: 
The existence of stellar cusps in dense clusters around massive black holes is a fundamental, decades-old prediction of theoretical stellar dynamics. Yet, observational evidence has been difficult to obtain. With a new, improved analysis of high-angular resolution images of the central parsecs of the Galactic Center, we are finally able to provide the first solid evidence for the existence of a stellar cusp around the Milky Way's massive black hole. The existence of stellar cusps has a significant impact on predicted event rates of phenomena like tidal disruptions of stars and extreme mass ratio inspirals.
