On the Formation of S stars from a Recent Massive Black Hole Merger in the Galactic Center

The Galactic center hosts a rotating disk of young stars between 0.05 and 0.5 pc of Sgr A*. The “S stars” at a distance <0.04 pc, however, are on eccentric orbits with nearly isotropically distributed inclinations. The dynamical origin of the S-star cluster has remained a theoretical challenge. U...
