关于人马座A* 系统的定向
On the orientation of the Sagittarius A* system
摘要：
银河系中心（Sgr A*）黑洞的近红外辐射具有独特的性质。最引人注目的特征是迄今为止在几次耀斑中观察到的暗示性周期性子结构。使用近红外偏振观测和建模的准周期性的轨道斑点，我们试图约束的Sgr A* 系统的三维取向。我们报告迄今未公布的偏振数据从2003年。它们支持从2004年到2006年的大致恒定的平均偏振角为60度\pm 20度的观测结果。对2006年数据进行了深入调查。特别地，评估斑点模型拟合，使得可以导出对Sgr A* 的位置角的约束。在位置倾斜角平面的置信轮廓。在3sigma水平上，赤道面法线的位置角在60 °-108 °（北偏东）的范围内，并结合大的倾斜角。这与最近的独立工作一致，其中Sgr A* 和X射线观测的无线电光谱/形态学特性，分别已被使用。然而，现有数据的质量和我们模型中的不确定性给我们的结论带来了一些模糊性。
英文摘要：
The near-infrared emission from the black hole at the Galactic center (Sgr A*) has unique properties. The most striking feature is a suggestive periodic sub-structure that has been observed in a couple of flares so far. Using near-infrared polarimetric observations and modelling the quasi-periodicity in terms of an orbiting blob, we try to constrain the three dimensional orientation of the Sgr A* system. We report on so far unpublished polarimetric data from 2003. They support the observations of a roughly constant mean polarization angle of 60 degr \pm 20 degr from 2004-2006. Prior investigations of the 2006 data are deepened. In particular, the blob model fits are evaluated such that constraints on the position angle of Sgr A* can be derived. Confidence contours in the position-inclination angle plane are derived. On a 3sigma level the position angle of the equatorial plane normal is in the range 60 degr - 108 degr (east of north) in combination with a large inclination angle. This agrees well with recent independent work in which radio spectral/morphological properties of Sgr A* and X-ray observations, respectively, have been used. However, the quality of the presently available data and the uncertainties in our model bring some ambiguity to our conclusions.
