The young stars orbiting the supermassive black hole probably formed in a complex dynamical structure... not just a vanilla "ball of gas".
And the structure looks asymmetric. That means there are more stars on one side of the orbital plane than another. This makes us think it is not a plane so much as a stream of stars perhaps recently disrupted.
We have known for sometime that the young stars' orbits aren't randomly distributed. There is a preferred disk of young stars that contains 20-30% of the young stars in the region. But, in our new paper, we have found a second structure!
In Jia, Xu, Lu, et al. we present a study of the dynamics of young stars orbiting around the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/acb939/pdf
