Some of these dust features are a part of ionized clumpy streamers orbiting Sgr A*, known as the mini-spiral. We present their proper motions over a 12 yr time period and report their flux densities in N-band filters and derive their spectral indices. The observations were carried out by VISIR at the ESO's Very Large Telescope. High-pass filtering led to the detection of several resolved filaments and clumps along the mini-spiral. Each source was fit by a 2D Gaussian profile to determine the offsets and aperture sizes. We perform aperture photometry to extract fluxes in two different bands. We present the proper motions of the largest consistent set of resolved and reliably determined sources. In addition to stellar orbital motions, we identify a stream-like motion of extended clumps along the mini-spiral. We also detect MIR counterparts of the radio tail components of the IRS 7 source. They show a clear kinematical deviation with respect to the star. They likely represent Kelvin–Helmholtz instabilities formed downstream in the shocked stellar wind. We also analyze the shape and orientation of the extended late-type IRS 3 star that is consistent with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array submillimeter detection of the source. Its puffed-up envelope with a radius of ∼2 × 106 R⊙ could be the result of the red-giant collision with a nuclear jet, which was followed by tidal prolongation along the orbit. © 2022. The Author(s).
