Sagittarius A*, abbreviated as Sgr A* (/ ˈ s æ dʒ ˈ eɪ s t ɑːr / SADGE-AY-star [3]), is the supermassive black hole [4] [5] [6] at the Galactic Center of the Milky Way.Viewed from Earth, it is located near the border of the constellations Sagittarius and Scorpius, about 5.6° south of the ecliptic, [7] visually close to the Butterfly Cluster (M6) and Lambda Scorpii.
Sagittarius A (Sgr A) is a complex radio source at the center of the Milky Way, which contains a supermassive black hole. It is located between Scorpius and Sagittarius , and is hidden from view at optical wavelengths by large clouds of cosmic dust in the spiral arms of the Milky Way.
The supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*, imaged by the Event Horizon Telescope. [32] The complex astronomical radio source Sagittarius A appears to be located almost exactly at the Galactic Center and contains an intense compact radio source, Sagittarius A*, which coincides with a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.
S62 is a star in the cluster surrounding Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way. S62 orbits Sgr A* in 9.9 years, one of the shortest orbital period of any star around Sgr A*. The current record holder, S4716 has a 4.0-year period. [3]
It has a mass of 200 000 M ☉ with a half-mass radius of 11.6 ly, [5] a core radius of 29.2 ly, and a tidal radius of 91.9 ly. [3] Its center has a bright luminosity density of 6,460 L ☉ ·pc −3 (meaning per cubic parsec). [12] It is a close neighbor of its analog M70 – possibly only 1,800 light-years separates the two. [14]
