• Resumen

  • Now, Rainer Schodel at the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia in Granada, Spain, and his colleagues have looked for cusp by combining images of the galaxy's center to map faint old stars, which have had time to settle into a cusp. They also studied the total light emitted by all stars at varying distances from the galaxy's central black hole, and compared the results with simulations.
