Constraining the nature of the Galactic center black hole Sgr A* with present and future observations

The Galactic center is an ideal laboratory to study strong-field general relativistic phenomena, as the supermassive black hole Sgr A* has the biggest angular Schwarzschild radius among all black holes. This article presents three different ways of using the immediate surroundings of Sgr A* as a probe in order to either constrain its spin, or even test the very nature of this compact object.
