Scientific paper

Combining recent determinations of the mass of the black hole at the center of our galaxy with the formalism of gravitational lensing, we show how to derive an estimate for the distance to the center of our galaxy. The formal error on this distance estimate is competitive with those of other recent determinations, and will suffer from a different set of systematic errors. This research was funded by the National Science Foundation, grant number AST-0453611.
