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. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Link: <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1701.05048" class="">https://arxiv.org/abs/1702.00219</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If you have recently read interesting astrophysics paper you would like to present, please contact me via e-mail: <a href="mailto:lceraj@phy.hr" class="">lceraj@phy.hr</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">See you on Wednesday.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Cheers,</div><div class="">Lana</div></body></html>
