Detection of the schwarzschild precession in the orbit of the star s2 near the galactic centre massive black hole

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: GRAVITY Collaboration and collaborators from the (UNIVERSITY) have published the Article: Detection of the Schwarzschild precession in the orbit of the star S2 near the Galactic centre massive black hole, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of May/19,/2018
• what: In the following the authors report the first measurement of the next relativistic effect in the orbit of S2, namely the in-plane, prograde precession of its pericentre angle, the Schwarzschild precession (Misner et_al 1973). An alternative approach is to place the reference frame constraints the authors obtained from the flare positions into a combined . . .
