ABSTRACT
Stars orbiting within 1′′
of the supermassive black hole in the Galactic Centre,
Sgr A*, are notoriously difficult to detect due to obscuration by gas and dust. We
show that some stars orbiting this region may be detectable via synchrotron emission.
In such instances, a bow shock forms around the star and accelerates the electrons.
We calculate that around the 10 GHz band (radio) and at 1014
Hz (infrared) the
luminosity of a star orbiting the black hole is comparable to the luminosity of Sgr A*.
The strength of the synchrotron emission depends on a number of factors including
the star’s orbital velocity. Thus, the ideal time to observe the synchrotron flux is when
the star is at pericenter. The star S2 will be ∼ 0.015′′
from Sgr A* in 2018, and is an
excellent target to test our predictions.

1 INTRODUCTION
Over 100 young massive stars inhabit the central parsec
of the Milky Way (for a review see Genzel et al. 2010;
Mapelli & Gualandris 2015). The stars whose orbit lies
within ∼ 0.04 pc from the Galactic Centre (GC) are known
as the S-stars (e.g. Schödel et al. 2003; Ghez et al. 2005).
The orbits of 28 S-stars were determined by Gillessen et al.
(2009). 19 members have semimajor axis a 1 arcsec. Of
those, 16 are B stars and the rest late-type stars. Of partic-
ular interest is the star S2 (also known as SO-2) which has
been observed for more than one complete orbit (Ghez et al.
2005; Ghez et al. 2008; Gillessen et al. 2009). S2 orbits the
supermassive black hole, Sgr A*, every 15.9 years. It is
a B0-2.5 V main sequence star with an estimated mass
of ∼15M⊙ (Martins et al. 2008). The second complete or-
bit of a star around Sgr A* was announced not long ago
(Meyer et al. 2012). This star, S102 (also know as SO-102)
has a period of 11.5 years and is about 16 times fainter than
S2. Both S2 and S102 provide compelling evidence that Sgr
A* has a mass of ∼ 4 × 106
M⊙.
The detection of young, massive stars with orbits close
to Sgr A* was surprising (eg. Ghez et al. 2003). A num-

ber of possible mechanisms have been proposed to account
for the origin of the S-stars. Löckmann et al. (2008) argued
that the dynamical interaction of two stellar disks in the
central parsec could lead to the formation of the S-stars.
Griv (2010) proposed that the S-stars were born in the
disk and migrated inward. Recently, Chen & Amaro-Seoane
(2014) theorized that a few Myr ago the disk extended down
to the innermost region around Sgr A* and Kozai-Lidov-
like resonance resulted in the S-stars. Perhaps the simplest
and arguably most likely scenario is that at least some of
the S-stars are the result of a three-body interaction with
Sgr A* (e.g. Ginsburg & Loeb 2006; Ginsburg & Loeb 2007;
Ginsburg et al. 2012; Zhang et al. 2013). In this scenario, a
binary star system interacts with Sgr A*, and tidal disrup-
tion leads to one star falling into the gravitational well of the
black hole while the companion is ejected as a hypervelocity
star (HVS) (Hills 1988). HVSs were first observed in 2005
(Brown et al. 2005) and as of today some 24 have been iden-
tified (see Brown et al. 2014 for the list). Brown et al. (2015)
studied 12 confirmed HVSs and found that the vast majority
are consistent with having a GC origin. Furthermore, obser-
vations indicate that these HVSs are likely massive slowly
pulsating B stars (Ginsburg et al. 2013) and thus consistent
with the known S-stars.
There are various candidate HVSs which are far
less massive than B-type stars (Palladino et al. 2014;
Zhong et al. 2014; Zhang et al. 2015). Given the fact
that the stellar density in the central parsec is ∼

2 Ginsburg, Wang, Loeb, Cohen
106
M⊙ pc−3
(Schödel et al. 2009) a distribution of masses is
expected. However, detecting stars at the GC is notoriously
difficult due to dust extinction (e.g. Schödel et al. 2010). In
this paper we discuss using synchrotron radio emission to
observe and possibly monitor stars at the GC. Of particular
importance is the fact that S2 will reach periapse in 2017.
We show that the closer S2 is to Sgr A* the more likely we
are detect the synchrotron emission. Thus, S2 serves as an
ideal test subject. In Section 2 we provide the physics behind
the synchrotron emission. In Section 3 we show that a star
such as S2 may be observable via its synchrotron emission.
We conclude with some discussions and future observations
in Section 4.
2 SHOCKS AND SYNCHROTRON EMISSION
We consider stars orbiting Sgr A*. Interactions between
winds from such a star and the interstellar medium (ISM)
will create two shocks, a reverse and forward shock. The
forward shock propagates into the ambient medium which
is swept up and subsequently compressed and accelerated.
The faster wind is compressed and decelerated by the re-
verse shock. We are interested in the emission from electrons
accelerated by the forward shock. In our case the forward
shock is a bow shock with Mach angle θ ∼ M−1
, where M
is the Mach number. In such a scenario, roughly half the
star’s mass loss contributes to the shock. The mechanical
luminosity is simply given by kinetic energy which depends
upon the mass loss rate, ˙M, and wind speed
Lw =
1
2
˙Mwv2
w. (1)
For a massive star such as S2, typical values for ˙Mw are
∼ 10−6
M⊙ yr−1
, vw ∼ 1000 km s−1
and thus Lw is around
1035
erg s−1
. Consequently, the total non-thermal luminos-
ity, Lnt, is given by the fraction of electrons, ǫnt, accelerated
to produce non-thermal radiation
Lnt = ǫntLw. (2)
We let ǫnt be 5% although simulations show that this value
is uncertain (Guo et al. 2014). The energy density of the
amplified magnetic field is given by UB = B2
/8π. Therefore,
assuming equipartition of energy, UB = ξBnskTs leads to
B = (8πξBnskTs)1/2
(3)
where ξB is the fraction of thermal energy in the magnetic
field, ns is the post-shock number density, and kTs the tem-
perature of the post-shock medium. In the strong shock limit
for an adiabatic index of 5/3, the post-shock number density
ns is ∼ 4 times the number density of the ambient ISM. Al-
though the value of ξB is highly uncertain, a value of 0.1 is
reasonable (Völk et al. 2005). The resulting values for B are
∼ 10−2
− 10−3
G. The Rankine-Hugoniot jump conditions
give the post shock temperature
Ts =
[(γt − 1)M2
+ 2][2γtM2
− (γt − 1)]
(γt + 1)2M2
To (4)
where To is the upstream temperature, and γt is the adia-
batic index which is taken to be 5/3. At the contact discon-
tinuity, ram pressure from the star/ISM is balanced by ram
pressure from the wind. Thus we have ρ∗v2
∗ = ρwv2
w where
the mass flux is given as ρwvw =
˙Mw
4πR2 and this leads to the
standoff radius
Ro = (
˙Mwvw
4πρ∗v2
∗
)1/2
. (5)
ρ∗ = nomp where mp is the proton mass. At a distance of
around 0.3 pc from Sgr A* no ∼ 103
cm−3
and the tem-
perature of the ISM is ∼ 107
K (Quataert 2004). Assuming
v∗ = 1000 km s−1
a typical standoff radius is approximately
10−3
pc.
We consider a broken power law distribution of elec-
trons generated via Fermi acceleration, written as
N(γ)dγ = Koγ−p
(1 +
γ
γb
)−1
(γmin γ γmax) (6)
where Ko is the normalization factor in electron density
distribution, p is the electron power law distribution index
which in our calculations is ∼ 2. γ is the Lorentz factor,
γmin and γmax are the minimum and maximum Lorentz
factor respectively, and γb is the break Lorentz factor due
to synchrotron cooling. The total power from synchrotron
emission of a single electron is given by
P =
4
9
r2
oβ2
γ2
B2
(7)
where ro is the classical electron radius and β ≡ v/c
(Rybicki & Lightman 1986). The corresponding synchrotron
cooling time is
tcool =
γmc2
P
. (8)
The break Lorentz factor due to synchrotron cooling is ob-
tained by equating the synchrotron cooling times scale and
the dynamical timescale
td =
Ro
vw
(9)
where Ro is the standoff radius and vw the wind veloc-
ity. The peak luminosity lasts for the pericenter crossing
timescale with typical values ∼ 1 yr. The precise shape of
the peak depends on the orbital parameters, the ambient
gas distribution, and the wind mass loss rate. The charac-
teristic timescale for the peak is the pericenter crossing time,
∼ b/v. γmin is set to one in our calculations. γmax is obtained
by equating the acceleration timescale, tacc = ξaccRLc/v2
w
(Blandford & Eichler 1987), to the dynamical or cooling
timescale where ξacc is a dimensionless parameter on the or-
der of unity. The Larmor radius is given by RL = γmec2
/eB
where me is the mass of the electron and e is the electron
charge. We find that tacc ∼ 10−4
yr, which is far shorter than
the dynamic time. At radio frequencies the cooling time is
a few orders of magnitude greater than the dynamical time
and therefore synchrotron cooling is negligible. Thus, we as-
sume that all the shocked electrons contribute to the ob-
served synchrotron emission.
The synchrotron flux and power are computed using
the radiative transfer equation (Rybicki & Lightman 1986)
which leads to
Iν =
jν
αν
(1 − e−τν
) (10)
where jν is the emission coefficient, αν the absorption coef-
ficient, and τν the optical depth (see Wang & Loeb 2014 for
further details).

Figure 2. Synchrotron power (arcseconds) versus distance (erg
s−1 cm−2) from Sgr A* for star S2. We let ˙M = 10−6 M⊙ yr−1.
At a frequency of around 1 GHz, S2 is quite bright with a lumi-
nosity of ∼ 10 mJy. The synchrotron power will be greatest in
2017, when S2 is at periapse.
3 EMISSION AROUND SGR A*
Figure 1 shows the expected synchrotron flux for a star or-
biting Sgr A*. For the left panel we kept the wind velocity
constant at 1000 kms−1
. We extrapolated the particle den-
sity to have the value ∼ 104
cm−3
from Quataert (2004). The
mass loss rate for hot massive stars is poorly constrained (for
a review see Puls et al. 2008). Thus, we varied the mass loss
rate between 10−7
M⊙ yr−1
and 10−5
M⊙ yr−1
which are
acceptable values for hot massive stars such as the S-stars
(Dupree 2015). Given that
Fν =
νLν
4πd2
1
ν
(11)
where d = 8 kpc we get a flux between ∼ 10 − 1000 mJy
in the GHz range. Recently, Yusef-Zadeh et al. (2015) de-
scribed radio observations of over 40 massive stars within
30′′
of the GC. Their values for the flux are consistent with
our results. Similar results were obtained when we kept the
mass loss rate constant at 10−6
M⊙ yr−1
and varied the wind
velocity between 1000 km s−1
and 4000 km s−1
(see right
panel of Figure 1).
In Figure 2 we plot the synchrotron power versus dis-
tance from Sgr A* for S2. At periapse S2 has a speed of
∼ 5500 km s−1
while at apoapse the speed drops down to
∼ 1300 km s−1
. A higher speed leads to a stronger shock.
However, even at apoapse it may very well be possible to
observe the synchrotron emission from S2. At 10 GHz, S2
has a flux density of ∼ 10 mJy. Thus, S2 is an excellent
target to observe. It is important to note that radio wave-
length photons are scattered and the image size follows a
λ2
dependence (e.g. Bower et al. 2006; Fish et al. 2014) of
∼ 1 mas (λ /cm)2
. Therefore, in order to resolve S2 at the
0.01′′
level, we need to observe at a frequency of 10 GHz or
greater. Sgr A* has been observed in the radio for decades.
Kellermann et al. (1977) used very long baseline interferom-
etry (VLBI) to observe Sgr A* at 7.8 GHz, and they detected
a nearby secondary transient source which has not been ex-
plained, and could in fact be S2 or another star. Further-
more, Herrnstein et al. (2004) monitored the flux density of
Sgr A* using the Very Large Array. Their results are consis-
tent with our calculation. Macquart & Bower (2006) looked
at the long-term variability of Sgr A* and detected a flux
of ∼ 1031
erg s−1
around the 1987 pericenter passage of S2.
This indicates that the mass loss rate of S2 is ∼ 10−6
M⊙
yr−1
. However, these data points are sparse and hence do
not provide a tight constraint on the peak flux during the
future pericenter passage.
While we expect the synchrotron emission to be de-
tectable, the same is not necessarily true for the standoff
radius. In Figure 3 we plot the standoff radius versus or-
bital radius. The standoff radius near the pericenter may
not be resolvable, although at larger distances from Sgr A*
the likelihood for resolving the source increases. It is also
worth noting that we calculated the thermal free-free emis-
sion around Sgr A* and concluded that it is not detectable.
4 CONCLUSIONS AND FUTURE
OBSERVATIONS
The innermost stars orbiting Sgr A* (such as the S-stars)
produce a bow shock. Although this shock will likely not be
detectable via thermal emission, we have shown that stars
such as S2 may be detectable via synchrotron emission. Fig-
ure 1 shows that the contrast of synchrotron flux relative to
Sgr A* is maximized around the 1.4 GHz band. However,
due to scattering we will need to use a higher frequency,
around 10 GHz, if we are to resolve our star. If a star such
as S2 emits strong synchrotron emission, the combined sig-
nal from the star and Sgr A* may exceed the quiescent ra-
dio emission from the black hole. As was the case with G2
(see next paragraph) it is not clear that any additional syn-
chrotron emission will be observable. Arguably, it is best
to resolve the synchrotron emission from any star orbiting
Sgr A*, such as S2. At apoapse S2 is ∼ 0.23′′
from Sgr A*
while at periapse it is only ∼ 0.015′′
away. Thus, to detect
a star such as S2 requires both good sensitivity and reso-
lution. VLBI can provide submilliarcsec observations of Sgr
A* (e.g. Lu et al. 2011) and thus the required precision. S2
is an ideal test case since the star will reach periapse in 2017
or early 2018.
Recently, gas cloud G2 was observed orbiting Sgr A*,
and was approximately 3100 Schwarzschild radii from the
black hole at pericenter. It was predicted that the bow
shock from this encounter would displace the quiescent
radio emission of Sgr A* by ∼ 33 mas (Narayan et al.
2012; Sadowski et al. 2013). However, observations across
the spectrum showed no apparent variability during the pe-
riastron passage of G2 (Bower et al. 2015; Valencia-S et al.
2015). It is unclear why a bow shock was not detected.
One possibility is that at the center of G2 is low-mass star
with wind velocity ∼ 100 km s−1
(Crumley & Kumar 2013;
Scoville & Burkert 2013). Synchrotron emission from such a
small vw would be extremely difficult to detect. Star S2 is
massive, and thus the winds are likely an order of magni-
tude larger. If synchrotron emission is not detected for S2
it may be that our value for ǫnt is too large. It may also be
that the wind speeds from S2 are lower than expected, or
that the number density around Sgr A* is significantly less

ity and wind velocity are both fixed at 1000 km s−1. Mass loss, ˙M, was computed with values of 10−7M⊙ yr−1 (blue line), 10−6M⊙
yr−1 (green line), and 10−5M⊙ yr−1 (red line). In the right panel we kept the mass loss constant at 10−6M⊙ yr−1 and used wind
velocities of 1000 km s−1(blue line), 2000 km s−1(green line), and 4000 s−1(red line).

less than unity, as expected. Right: angular diameter of the standoff radius (θo) versus the angular diameter of the orbital radius (θ⋆).
Around pericenter it may be difficult to resolve the finite size of the standoff radius. However, S2 should still be detectable via synchrotron
emission.
than what is predicted. Arguably, the most likely reason why
synchrotron emission from S2 may not be detected is simply
that the shock is not as strong as assumed. Our results are
valid so long as the shock is strong, but the emission could
be much fainter if the strength of the shock is lessened. Since
the shock will be strongest when S2 passes periapse, this will
be the ideal time to monitor the star for synchrotron emis-
sion. Even a null detection will help place constraints on the
environment around Sgr A* (Giannios & Sironi 2013).
In addition to radio observations at around the 10 GHz
band, Figure 1 shows that at infrared wavelengths, in par-
ticular around 1014
Hz, Sgr A* is approximately the same
luminosity as a close-by star such as S2. However, S2 itself
emits in the infrared, therefore we will not be able to distin-
guish between the non-thermal and thermal emission. We

Detecting Stars at the Galactic Centre via Synchrotron Emission 5
will need to compare the measured flux with that of the S2.
An instrument with enough sensitivity, such as the James
Webb Space Telescope (JWST), should be able to detect the
synchrotron emission in the infrared. JWST is scheduled to
launch in October of 2018. While S2 will have passed peri-
center, if our predictions are correct the synchrotron emis-
sion should still be detectable. Furthermore, it may be pos-
sible to measure the increase in total infrared emission from
S2 between apocenter and pericenter owing to the increased
synchrotron emission. While S2 is the litmus test for detect-
ing stars at the Galactic Centre via synchrotron emission,
we hope that ultimately we can use this technique to detect
and monitor stars that have thus far not been observable.
