M31中心超大质量黑洞的引力透镜

Gravitational lensing by the supermassive black hole in the center of M31

V. Bozza, S. Calchi Novati, L. Mancini

摘要:

我们研究了在星系M31中心的超大质量黑洞的弱偏转区观测引力透镜的可能性。这个黑洞比我们银河系中心的黑洞质量要大得多,这使它本身成为一个更有效的透镜。然而,它也更遥远,候选恒星源因此显得更暗淡。作为潜在的来源,我们分别考虑属于球核、盘、由P1+P2形成的三重核和最近发现的内星团P3的恒星。我们计算在给定的时间,同时透镜明星的数量作为二次图像所需的阈值星等的函数。对于K波段的观测,我们发现1.4颗预期的恒星的二次图像比K=24亮,182颗比K=30亮。对于V波段的观测,我们预计有1.3个次级像比V=27亮,271个次级像比V=33亮。核球星最有可能被超大质量黑洞透镜化,而盘星和复合核星各占10%。来自黑洞的二次图像的典型角分离范围从1质量到0.1“。对于每个人口,我们还显示了透镜源的分布作为其距离和绝对大小的函数,所生成的二次图像的预期角位置和速度,透镜事件的速率和典型持续时间。

英文摘要:

We examine the possibility of observing gravitational lensing in the weak deflection regime by the supermassive black hole in the center of the galaxy M31. This black hole is significantly more massive than the black hole in the center of our Galaxy qualifying itself as a more effective lens. However, it is also more distant and the candidate stellar sources appear consequently fainter. As potential sources we separately consider stars belonging to the bulge, to the disk, to the triple nucleus formed by P1+P2 and by the recently discovered inner cluster P3. We calculate the number of simultaneously lensed stars at a given time as a function of the threshold magnitude required for the secondary image. For observations in the K-band we find 1.4 expected stars having secondary images brighter than K=24 and 182 brighter than K=30. For observations in the V-band we expect 1.3 secondary images brighter than V=27 and 271 brighter than V=33. The bulge stars have the highest chance to be lensed by the supermassive black hole, whereas the disk and the composite nucleus stars contribute by 10% each. The typical angular separation of the secondary images from the black hole range from 1 mas to 0.1''. For each population we also show the distribution of the lensed sources as a function of their distance and absolute magnitude, the expected angular positions and velocities of the generated secondary images, the rate and the typical duration of the lensing events.
