The nucleus of our Galaxy
Open accessAbstract
The subject of this review is the central 100 parsecs of our Galaxy, with a strong focus on the central few parsecs. Observations of the electromagnetic spectrum over 13 orders of magnitude in wavelength show a broad range of phenomena involving a number of physical processes. We discuss the stellar and interstellar components, the importance of magnetic and gravitational forces, the evidence for stellar formation and a central massive black hole, and the origin and nature of ionization, outflows and interstellar gas dynamics.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
