After charting stars in the heart of our galaxy traveling at speeds up to 50 times faster than Earth circles the sun, scientists are convinced that a supermassive black hole is pulling the strings, as only the relentless grip of a supermassive black hole could keep these frenzied stars locked into orbit within the galactic center.

Previously, astronomers have used x-ray telescopes to observe strong winds very near the massive black holes at galactic centers (artist's concept, inset) and infrared wavelengths to detect the vast outflows of cool gas (bluish haze in artist's concept, main image) from such galaxies as a whole, but they've never done so in the same galaxy.

Both papers provide new, closely related estimates for the mass of the suspected black hole and the distance between our sun and the galactic center, roughly 26,000 light - years away.

This fuzzy warmth from the galactic center has puzzled scientists for 30 years and clearer observation of it has led Ghez and her collaborators to conclude that it is most likely superheated interstellar dust on the verge of falling into the black hole in the paper presenting their findings in the current issue of Astrophysical Journal Letters.

The list of accomplishments is far too large to fit within one article, but they include: the first search for extraterrestrial intelligence; creation of the Drake equation; discovery of flat galactic rotation curves; first pulsar discovered in a supernova remnant; first organic polyatomic molecule detected in interstellar space; black hole detected at the center of the Milky Way; determination of the Tully - Fisher relationship; detection of the first interstellar anion; measurement of the most massive neutron star known; first high angular resolution image of the Sunyaev - Zel» Dovich Effect; discovery of only known millisecond pulsar in a stellar triple system; discovery of pebble - sized proto - planets in Orion, and the first detection of a chiral molecule in space.

Her dissertation work focused on studying and modeling the extremely energetic outflows from active black holes at galactic centers.

A widely accepted idea has described this phenomenon as: the strong radiation from the galactic center in which the supermassive black hole locates ionizes (* 1) the surrounding gas and affects even molecular gas that is the ingredient of star formation; the strong radiation activates (* 2) or suppresses (* 3) the star formation of galaxies.
