High Angular Resolution Imaging of the Galactic Center

Division of Astronomy and Astrophysics

The advent of high angular resolution imaging presents a unique
opportunity to build the case for a supermassive black hole at the
center of the Milky Way and to study this black hole's environment and
its effects thereon with much higher spatial resolution than can be
brought to bear on any other galaxy. I will discuss the imaging
issues associated with this project along our recent progress.
