  We analyze the properties of the star S2 orbiting the supermassive black hole
at the center of the Galaxy. A high quality SINFONI H and K band spectrum
obtained from coadding 23.5 hours of observation between 2004 and 2007 reveals
that S2 is an early B dwarf (B0-2.5V). Using model atmospheres, we constrain
its stellar and wind properties. We show that S2 is a genuine massive star, and
not the core of a stripped giant star as sometimes speculated to resolve the
problem of star formation so close to the supermassive black hole. We give an
upper limit on its mass loss rate, and show that it is He enriched, possibly
because of the presence of a magnetic field.
