Descripción
A new near-infrared camera, SHARP (System for High Angular Resolution
Pictures), has been used at the 3.5m ESO NTI' to produce
near-diffraction-limited K-band images of the galactic centre region.
The new images show a substantial improvement in resolution and
sensitivity over previous K-band images. IRS 16 splits into about 20
compact sources, the extended ridge in IRS 16W- E is resolved into at
least 5 stellar components, and a faint source (K = 13.7 ± 0.6)
is detected at the position of SgrA. Measurement of proper motions of
the stellar sources within a few arcseconds of this source will allow us
to determine the central mass within the next few years
