Location of the 116 young stars with RV and astrometric measurements that comprise the sample for this study. Sources are identified based on their astrometric properties: acceleration detections (red stars), linearly moving with acceleration constraints (blue squares), and linearly moving without acceleration constraints (black circles). Filled stars and filled squares mark sources with new acceleration detections and acceleration constraints, while the filled circles mark the sources with new radial velocity measurements from GCOWS. In the background is the wide-field adaptive optics mosaic image from 2008 May covering the central ~1 pc of the Galaxy. The dashed black box denotes the central 10'' field of view where the highest astrometric precision is achieved.
