Sgr A* and Company - Multiwavelength observations of Sgr A* and VLA search of ``Sgr A*'s'' in LINERs

2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/11342We report first results from a multiwavelength campaign to measure the simultaneous spectrum of Sgr A* from cm to mm wavelengths. The observations confirm that the previously detected submm-excess is not due to variability; the presence of an ultracompact component with a size of a few Schwarzschild radii is inferred. In a VLA survey of LINER galaxies, we found Sgr A*-like nuclei in one quarter of the galaxies searched, suggesting a link between those low-power AGN and the Galactic Center.Talk presented at the IAU Coll. 164, A.
