| Abstract: |
A black hole is one of the most interesting objects. Several studies
suggest the existence of a supermassive black hole (SMBH) at the center
of the Milky Way due to the orbits of nearby stars, generated by its
huge gravitational field. We can study the radiation emitted at different
wavelength and thus know what happens in the vicinity of the black hole, for
example, the star forming activity close to it. This review is about
Sgr A*, its features, and new discoveries. |
