Relativistic redshift of the star S0-2 orbiting the Galactic Center supermassive black hole

T Do, A Hees, A Ghez, GD Martinez, DS Chu, S Jia… - Science, 2019 - science.org
The general theory of relativity predicts that a star passing close to a supermassive black
hole should exhibit a relativistic redshift. In this study, we used observations of the Galactic …
