Description
The Galactic Center of the Milky Way can serve as a test bench to investigate physical phenomena at the edge of astrophysics and fundamental physics. As such, it offers a unique laboratory to probe General Relativity, modified theories of gravity, different paradigms of dark matter, and black hole mimickers. I will provide a general overview of the results achieved in recent years emphasizing their importance in opening a new avenue to improve our understanding of the underlying theory of gravity in the surroundings of a supermassive compact object.
