This project investigates gravitational physics by studying the orbits of stars around the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center. Using advanced interferometry, it aims to detect relativistic effects in these orbits, providing insights into gravity and black hole properties.
Of the four fundamental forces in nature, gravity is the least tested one. A uniquely accessible laboratory for gravitational physics is the Galactic Center, hosting the closest massive black hole with 4 million solar masses.
Its vicinity and the advent of high-resolution, near-infrared techniques allowed for the observation of ≈ 30 individual stellar orbits in its gravitational field.
The stars are ideal test particles for the potential in which they move, and thus the keys to directly probing…
