Galactic Center Dynamics

Galactic Center Dynamics is a theoretical framework in astrophysics that models the gravitational, hydrodynamical, and relativistic motions of matter and stars in the central parsec of the Milky Way, distinguishing it from broader galactic dynamics by focusing specifically on the extreme physical conditions and massive black hole environment at the Galactic Center.
