Detection of X7 on its designated Keplerian orbit around Sgr A*. The magenta orbit depicts the Keplerian solution presented by Ciurlo et al. (2023), and the white trajectory is adapted from Peißker et al. (2024c). While the center of gravity of the bow-shock source is located on the white orbit, the tip of X7 follows the magenta trajectory. We stress that the limited FOV blocks emission of X7. In this representation, only about one-third of the bow shock is visible (Peißker et al. 2021a; Ciurlo et al. 2023).
