  We report 75 milli-arcsec resolution, near-IR imaging spectroscopy within the
central 30 light days of the Galactic Center [...]. To a limiting magnitude of
K~16, 9 of 10 stars in the central 0.4 arcsec, and 13 of 17 stars out to 0.7
arcsec from the central black hole have spectral properties of B0-B9, main
sequence stars. [...] all brighter early type stars have normal rotation
velocities, similar to solar neighborhood stars. We [...] derive improved 3d
stellar orbits for six of these S-stars in the central 0.5 arcsec. Their
orientations in space appear random. Their orbital planes are not co-aligned
with those of the two disks of massive young stars 1-10 arcsec from SgrA*. We
can thus exclude [...] that the S-stars as a group inhabit the inner regions of
these disks. They also cannot have been located/formed in these disks [...].
[...] we conclude that the S-stars were most likely brought into the central
light month by strong individual scattering events. The updated estimate of
distance to the Galactic center from the S2 orbit fit is Ro = 7.62 +/- 0.32
kpc, resulting in a central mass value of 3.61 +/- 0.32 x 10^6 Msun. We
happened to catch two smaller flaring events from SgrA* [...]. The 1.7-2.45 mum
spectral energy distributions of these flares are fit by a featureless, red
power law [...]. The observed spectral slope is in good agreement with
synchrotron models in which the infrared emission comes from [...] radiative
inefficient accretion flow in the central R~10 Rs region.
