Summary

Description
English: Inferred well-determined orbits of 6 stars around supermassive black hole candidate Sagittarius A* at the Milky Way galactic centre based on data from "SINFONI in the Galactic Center: Young Stars and Infrared Flares in the Central Light-Month" by Eisenhauer et al, The Astrophysical Journal, 628:246-259, 2005.  Info: For the comparison image, the scale is assumed to be 7940 AU/arcsecond (1" in radians × 7.94 kpc in AU) or 7.94 AU/pixel in SVG. At this scale, the distance between the Sun and Proxima Centauri (its nearest star) is 33.8 times (268 000 AU ÷ 7940 AU/arcsecond) the height of the chart.  Info: Created by tracing the ellipses on Figure 7 of Eisenhauer et al because no numerical data was found

"SINFONI in the Galactic Center: young stars and IR flares in the central light month". Astrophysics: 252 Fig. 7 Projection on the sky of the six S stars included in the fitting (see also Schödel et al. 2003). The measured radial velocity of S2 for epoch 2002 is taken from Ghez et al. (2003). The various color curves are the result of the best global fit to the spatial and radial velocity data of S1, S2, S8, S12, S13, and S14. The orbital parameters are listed in Table 2.
