Abstract

V originále

To date, the proposed observation of young stellar objects (YSOs) in the Galactic center still raises the question of where and how these objects could have formed due to the violent vicinity of Sgr A*. Here, we report the multiwavelength detection of a highly dynamic YSO close to Sgr A* that might be a member of the IRS 13 cluster. We observe the beforehand known coreless bow-shock source X3 in the near-and mid-infrared (NIR/MIR) with SINFONI (VLT), NACO (VLT), ISAAC (VLT), VISIR (VLT), SHARP (NTT), and NIRCAM2 (KECK). In the radio domain, we use CO continuum and H30 alpha ALMA observations to identify system components at different temperatures and locations concerning the central stellar source. It is suggested that these radio/submillimeter observations in combination with the NIR Br gamma line can be associated with a protoplanetary disk of the YSO, which is consistent with manifold VISIR observations that reveal complex molecules and elements such as PAH, S IV, Ne II, and Ar III in a dense and compact region. Based on the photometric multiwavelength analysis, we infer the mass of 15 (+10)(-5) M-? for the YSO with a related age of a few 10(4) yr. Due to this age estimate and the required relaxation timescales for high-mass stars, this finding is an indication of ongoing star formation in the inner parsec. The proper motion and 3D distance imply a relation between X3 and IRS 13. We argue that IRS 13 may serve as a birthplace for young stars that are ejected due to the evaporation of the cluster.
