Ghez, Andrea, The multiplicity of T Tauri stars in the star forming regions Taurus-Auriga and Ophiucus-Scorpius: A 2.2 micrometer speckle imaging survey. Dissertation (Ph.D.), California Institute of Technology (1993).
The Nobel Prize in Physics 2020 was divided, one half awarded to Roger Penrose "for the discovery that black hole formation is a robust prediction of the general theory of relativity", the other half jointly to Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez "for the discovery of a supermassive compact object at the centre of our galaxy."
