✦ Synopsis

The long-standing issues of determination of the mass distribution and nature of the center of our Galaxy could be probed by a lensing experiment capable of testing the spatial and velocity distributions of stars nearby and beyond it. We propose a Ž . lensing toy-model which could be a further evidence that a massive condensation e.g., a neutrino condensation is a good candidate to explain the data ruling out the presence of a supermassive black hole.
