He is awarded the 2008 Shaw Prize in Astronomy in recognition of his outstanding contributions in demonstrating that the Milky Way contains a supermassive black hole at its centre. In this lecture Prof Genzel discussed measurements over the last two decades that prove the existence of a massive black hole in the Center of our Milky Way. He also discussed how the cosmological evolution of massive black holes and galaxies appears to be intimately related. Duration: 70 min. |
