Journal Article
THE SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE AT THE GALACTIC CENTER
2001
Overview
The inner few parsecs at the Galactic Center have come under intense
scrutiny in recent years, in part due to the exciting broad-band observations
of this region, but also because of the growing interest from theorists
motivated to study the physics of black hole accretion, magnetized gas
dynamics, and unusual star formation. The Galactic Center is now known to
contain arguably the most compelling supermassive black hole candidate,
weighing in at a little over 2.6 million suns. Its interaction with the nearby
environment, comprised of clusters of evolved and young stars, a molecular
dusty ring, ionized gas streamers, diffuse hot gas, and a hypernova remnant, is
providing a wealth of accretion phenomenology and high-energy processes for
detailed modeling. In this review, we summarize the latest observational
results and focus on the physical interpretation of the most intriguing object
in this region-the compact radio source Sgr A*, thought to be the
radiative manifestation of the supermassive black hole.
