Topic: Sgr A*: A Massive Black Hole at the Galaxy's Centre
Speaker: Mark Wardle, Department of Physics, Macquarie University
Venue: Epping Creative Centre - 26 Stanley Road, Epping

Abstract: In this talk I shall introduce you to the inner regions of our Milky Way and present the compelling evidence that the radio source at the very centre, Sgr A*, is a 4 million solar mass black hole. Emission from this object has been observed from radio to x-ray wavelengths, and possibly in gamma rays. I shall outline the ongoing effort to understand just what exactly is happening in the vicinity of the black hole.
