These observations are part of an accepted medium-sized proposal executed in April and September 2024, simultaneous with global radio observations by the Event Horizon Telescope, the Submillimeter Array, and the NRAO Very Large Array, as well as X-ray observations with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Our observations are helping to determine the origin of the variable infrared to X-ray emission of Sgr A* and constraining the electron acceleration in the accretion flow.<\/p>\n<p><small>Image credits: X-ray: NASA\/CXC\/SAO; Optical: NASA\/STScI; IR: Spitzer NASA\/JPL-Caltech.<\/small><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-62 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/teams.issibern.ch\/galacticcenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2024\/11\/cropped-BernLogo-1024x691.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teams.issibern.ch\/galacticcenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2024\/11\/cropped-BernLogo-1024x691.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/teams.issibern.ch\/galacticcenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2024\/11\/cropped-BernLogo-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/teams.issibern.ch\/galacticcenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2024\/11\/cropped-BernLogo-768x518.jpg 768w, https:\/\/teams.issibern.ch\/galacticcenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2024\/11\/cropped-BernLogo-1536x1036.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/teams.issibern.ch\/galacticcenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2024\/11\/cropped-BernLogo-2048x1382.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-83\" src=\"https:\/\/teams.issibern.ch\/galacticcenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2025\/07\/IMG_7070-1-1024x1019.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"637\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teams.issibern.ch\/galacticcenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2025\/07\/IMG_7070-1-1024x1019.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/teams.issibern.ch\/galacticcenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2025\/07\/IMG_7070-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/teams.issibern.ch\/galacticcenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2025\/07\/IMG_7070-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/teams.issibern.ch\/galacticcenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2025\/07\/IMG_7070-1-768x764.jpg 768w, https:\/\/teams.issibern.ch\/galacticcenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2025\/07\/IMG_7070-1-1536x1529.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/teams.issibern.ch\/galacticcenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2025\/07\/IMG_7070-1-2048x2039.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During our stay at ISSI Bern we developed cutting-edge tools required to analyze never-before-collected James Webb Space Telescope mid-infrared observations of the supermassive black hole Sgr A* in the Galactic Center.
