Revealing the Heart of the Galaxy
Written in an informal and engaging style, this volume traces the discoveries
that led to our understanding of the size and structure of the Milky Way, and the
conclusive evidence for a massive black hole at its center. Robert H. Sanders, an
astronomer who witnessed many of these developments, describes how we
parted the veil of interstellar dust to probe the strange phenomena within. We
now know that the most luminous objects in the Universe
-
quasars and radio
galaxies
-
are powered by massive black holes at their hearts. But how did black
boles emerge from being a mathematical peculiarity, a theoretical consequence
of Einstein s theory of gravity, to become part of the modern paradigm that
explains active galactic nuclei and galaxy evolution in normal galaxies such as
the Milky Way? This story, aimed at
nonspecialist
readers and students and
historians of astronomy, will both inform and entertain.
ROBERT
R
SANDERS is Professor Emeritus at the Kapteyn Astronomical
Institute of the University of
Groningen,
the Netherlands. Author of The Dark
Matter Problem: A Historical Perspective (Cambridge,
2010),
Sanders has spent his
career studying the orbit structure in barred galaxies, active galactic nuclei,
and the problem of the mass discrepancy in galaxies. He received his Ph.D. in
astrophysics from Princeton University.
