An improved distribution-function modeling technique applied to thousands of stars yields a 4 million solar-mass central black hole and a total mass of 2.0-2.3 x 10^7 solar masses within 10 pc of the Milky Way nucleus.

Simulations demonstrate that a retrograde IMBH with mass ratio ~0.67 to the disc mass fragments a stellar disc into inner, misaligned, and outer components within 10-20 Myr.
N-body+hydro simulation of an isolated Milky Way-like galaxy shows bar-spiral reconnections produce episodic star formation bursts in nuclear stellar discs and clusters after the initial bar-driven burst.
Tidal stripping fails to explain missing bright red giants near Sgr A* as loss-cone diffusion scales too weakly with stellar radius compared to the rapid drop in red-giant lifetimes.

On the Missing Red Giants near the Galactic Center
Tidal stripping fails to explain missing bright red giants near Sgr A* as loss-cone diffusion scales too weakly with stellar radius compared to the rapid drop in red-giant lifetimes.
