Positional measurements for the six stars beyond a projected radius of 0 farcs8 with reliable acceleration detections. Positions are measured relative to Sgr A*, with X and Y increasing to the East and North, respectively. Positional uncertainties do not include errors in the transformation to absolute coordinates (i.e., plate scale, location of Sgr A*, or position angle). The best-fit acceleration model is shown for each source (black solid) along with 1σ error bars (green dashed). The significance of each star's acceleration in the radial direction is shown in the upper right corner of each panel. The physical area is the same in each panel (0 farcs28 × 0 farcs28).
