KMOS view of the Galactic centre. I.

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The Galactic centre hosts a crowded, dense nuclear star cluster with a half-light radius of 4pc.

Description

Most of the stars in the Galactic centre are cool late-type stars, but there are also >=100 hot early-type stars in the central parsec of the Milky Way. These stars are only 3-8Myr old.

Our knowledge of the number and distribution of early-type stars in the Galactic centre is incomplete. Only a few spectroscopic observations have been made beyond a projected distance of 0.5pc of the Galactic centre. The distribution and kinematics of early-type stars are essential to understand the formation and growth of the nuclear star cluster.
