| Abstract: |
The inner parsec of our Galaxy is populated by hundreds of young, massive stars. Their stellar winds fill the region with very hot (∼107 K) plasma. However, only a small fraction is accreted by the central super massive black hole, Sagittarius A*. We simulate the system of mass-losing stars feeding the black hole, finding that material can accumulate around it as a disk-like structure, provided it is modelled for long enough timescales (t > 3000 yr). |
