Sgr A*, at the heart of the Milky Way and clocking in at 4.3 million solar masses, is the closest supermassive black hole we have access to. It's also on the quiescent end of the activity scale, which means we have a front row seat to small-scale black hole behavior that would be too faint to see were it taking place in another galaxy.

Gravitational wave observations have revolutionized our understanding of black holes, revealing crucial details about their masses and spins. These measurements, collected from binary black hole mergers,
