The early-type stars live in two

= ||~vk ||(sin θk cos ϕk , sin θk sin ϕk , cos θk ) .
assume all vk are normal to a common vector

0 = ~n · ~vk
= sin i cos Ω sin θk cos ϕk
− sin i sin Ω sin θk sin ϕk
− cos i cos θk
sin i sin θk cos(Ω + ϕk ) = cos i cos θk
cotan θk = tan i cos(Ω + ϕk ) .

•

lightcurves of flares consistent with shearing hot

in that case, astrometry ⇒
• parameters of the BH;
• physical properties of inner disk;
• constrain “BH” size to . a few RS ;
• explore a totally untested regime of gravity;
•
probe spacetime at a few RS
