The nature of the gaseous and dusty cloud G2 in the Galactic Centre is still under debate. We present three-dimensional hydrodynamical adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) simulations of G2, modeled as an outflow from a compact source moving on the observed orbit. The construction of mock position-velocity (PV) diagrams enables a direct comparison with observations and allow us to conclude that the observational properties of the gaseous component of G2 could be matched by a massive ($dot{M}_mathrm{w}=5times 10^{-7} ;M_{odot} mathrm{yr^{-1}}$) and slow ($50 ;mathrm{km ;s^{-1}}$) outflow, as observed for T Tauri stars. In order for this to be true, only the material at larger ($>100 ;mathrm{AU}$) distances from the source must be actually emitting, otherwise G2 would appear too compact compared to the observed PV diagrams. On the other hand, the presence of a central dusty source might be able to explain the compactness of G2s dust component. In the present scenario, 5-10 years after pericentre the compact source should decouple from the previously ejected material, due to the hydrodynamic interaction of the latter with the surrounding hot and dense atmosphere. In this case, a new outflow should form, ahead of the previous one, which would be the smoking gun evidence for an outflow scenario.

We study the evolution of G2 in a textit{Compact Source Scenario}, where G2 is the outflow from a low-mass central star moving on the observed orbit. This is done through 3D AMR simulations of the hydrodynamic interaction of G2 with the surrounding h
ot accretion flow. A comparison with observations is done by means of mock position-velocity (PV) diagrams. We found that a massive ($dot{M}_mathrm{w}=5times 10^{-7} ;M_{odot} ; mathrm{yr^{-1}}$) and slow ($v_mathrm{w}=50 ;mathrm{km; s^{-1}}$) outflow can reproduce G2s properties. A faster outflow ($v_mathrm{w}=400 ;mathrm{km; s^{-1}}$) might also be able to explain the material that seems to follow G2 on the same orbit.
We present new observations and analysis of G2 - the intriguing red emission-line object which is quickly approaching the Galaxys central black hole. The observations were obtained with the laser guide star adaptive optics systems on the W. M. Keck I
and II telescopes and include spectroscopy (R ~ 3600) centered on the Hydrogen Br-gamma line as well as K (2.1 micrometer) and L (3.8 micrometer) imaging. Analysis of these observations shows the Br-gamma line emission has a positional offset from the L continuum. This offset is likely due to background source confusion at L. We therefore present the first orbital solution derived from Br-gamma line astrometry, which when coupled with radial velocity measurements, results in a later time of closest approach (2014.21 +/- 0.14), closer periastron (130 AU, 1900Rs), and higher eccentricity (0.9814 +/- 0.0060) compared to a solution using L astrometry. The new orbit casts doubt on previous associations of G2 and a low surface brightness tail. It is shown that G2 has no K counterpart down to K ~ 20 mag. G2s L continuum and the Br-gamma line-emission is unresolved in almost all epochs; however it is marginally extended in our highest quality Br-gamma data set from 2006 and exhibits a clear velocity gradient at that time. While the observations altogether suggest that G2 has a gaseous component which is tidally interacting with the central black hole, there is likely a central star providing the self-gravity necessary to sustain the compact nature of this object.
In 2011, we discovered a compact gas cloud (G2) with roughly three Earth masses that is falling on a near-radial orbit toward the massive black hole in the Galactic Center. The orbit is well constrained and pericenter passage is predicted for early 2
014. Our data beautifully show that G2 gets tidally sheared apart due to the massive black holes force. During the next months, we expect that in addition to the tidal effects, hydrodynamics get important, when G2 collides with the hot ambient gas around Sgr A*. Simulations show that ultimately, the clouds material might fall into the massive black hole. Predictions for the accretion rate and luminosity evolution, however, are very difficult due to the many unknowns. Nevertheless, this might be a unique opportunity in the next years to observe how gas feeds a massive black hole in a galactic nucleus.
In early 2014 the fast-moving near-infrared source G2 reached its closest approach to the supermassive black hole Sgr A* in the Galactic Center. We report on the evolution of the ionized gaseous component and the dusty component of G2 immediately aft
er this event, revealed by new observations obtained in 2015 and 2016 with the SINFONI integral field spectrograph and the NACO imager at the ESO VLT. The spatially resolved dynamics of the Br$gamma$ line emission can be accounted for by the ballistic motion and tidal shearing of a test-particle cloud that has followed a highly eccentric Keplerian orbit around the black hole for the last 12 years. The non-detection of a drag force or any strong hydrodynamic interaction with the hot gas in the inner accretion zone limits the ambient density to less than a few 10$^3$ cm$^{-3}$ at the distance of closest approach (1500 $R_s$), assuming G2 is a spherical cloud moving through a stationary and homogeneous atmosphere. The dust continuum emission is unresolved in L-band, but stays consistent with the location of the Br$gamma$ emission. The total luminosity of the Br$gamma$ and L emission has remained constant to within the measurement uncertainty. The nature and origin of G2 are likely related to that of the precursor source G1, since their orbital evolution is similar, though not identical. Both object are also likely related to a trailing tail structure, which is continuously connected to G2 over a large range in position and radial velocity.
A compact gas cloud G2 is predicted to reach the pericenter of its orbit around the super massive black hole (SMBH) of our galaxy, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). This event will give us a rare opportunity to observe the interaction between SMBH and gas aro
und it. We report the result of the fully three-dimensional simulation of the evolution of G2 during the first pericenter passage. The strong tidal force by the SMBH stretches the cloud along its orbit, and compresses it strongly in the vertical direction, resulting in the heating up and flaring up of the cloud. The bolometric luminosity will reach the maximum of $sim100 L_{odot}$. This flare should be easily observed in the near infrared.
