Possible Evidence for a Binary Massive Black Hole in the Galactic Nucleus
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
The Galactic Centre candidate Sgr A∗ may exhibit a 40 km/s radial velocity component, which is not observed for OH/IR stars around the centre. This could be interpreted as orbital motion of one member of a binary massive black hole. In other galaxies such pairs may be inferred from radio jet precession and emission line profiles.
