Seminar by Farhad Zadeh, Northwestern

The physical origin of Sgr A*’s flaring activity remains under debate, though recent simulations increasingly point to magnetic eruptions as the dominant mechanism. We present a unified interpretation of recent multi‑wavelength results from JWST, NuSTAR, and the VLA that illuminate the variable emission from Sgr A*.
