The Galactic Center Next Slide Check sizes 5 arcsec = 0.6 lyr Sagittarius (teapot) Galactic Center 1 deg = 450 lyr
Black Hole and Bulge Masses Correlate Black Hole Mass (M sun ) Bulge Mass (M sun ) Milky Way M32 M
Strong Gravity Near Black Holes 8000 miles kg 1 / 2 inch kg Strong gravity near black hole Modest gravity at surface crush
Accretion disks transport gas to the black hole Video-1 Milky Way black hole From Hubble Source 2005 Video-2 M84 accretion disk around black hole Also Hubble Source 2005
Quasars Show singly and fade from one to the next
Radio Galaxies Show singly and fade from one to the next
Interactions Send Gas to Center Stars and Dark Matter Only Gas Only Gas Only: Central Region
