摘要:

我们用朱雀/XIS对银河系中心(GC)附近的人马座(Sgr)B1区(l,b)=(0.5,-0.1)进行了100 ks的观测。在光谱中清楚地检测到S XV、Fe I、Fe XXV和Fe XXVI的发射线。我们发现,Fe XXV和Fe XXVI线发射平滑地分布在从GC连接的Sgr B1和B2区。这一结果表明,GC热等离子体至少延伸到具有恒定温度的Sgr B区。在观测区有两个弥散X射线源。其中一个(G0.42-0.04)是新发现的,并显示出强烈的S XV Ka发射线,表明位于GC区域的超新星遗迹的候选者。另一个(M0.51-0.10)有明显的Fe I Ka发射线和强吸收连续谱,可能是一个X射线反射星云。没有足够亮的近源照射M0.51-0.10。然而,如果300年前的Sgr A* 比现在亮10^6倍,那么Fe I Ka发射就可以解释,光的旅行时间为100 pc到M0.51-0.10。

英文摘要:

We made a 100 ks observation of the Sagittarius (Sgr) B1 region at (l, b) = (0.5, -0.1) near to the Galactic center (GC) with the Suzaku/XIS. Emission lines of S XV, Fe I, Fe XXV, and Fe XXVI were clearly detected in the spectrum. We found that the Fe XXV and Fe XXVI line emissions smoothly distribute over the Sgr B1 and B2 regions connecting from the GC. This result suggests that the GC hot plasma extends at least up to the Sgr B region with a constant temperature. There are two diffuse X-ray sources in the observed region. One of the two (G0.42-0.04) is newly discovered, and exhibits a strong S XV Ka emission line, suggesting a candidate for a supernova remnant located in the GC region. The other one (M0.51-0.10), having a prominent Fe I Ka emission line and a strongly absorbed continuum, is likely to be an X-ray reflection nebula. There is no near source bright enough to irradiate M0.51-0.10. However, the Fe I Ka emission can be explained if Sgr A* was ~ 10^6 times brighter 300 years ago, the light travel time for 100 pc to M0.51-0.10, than it is at present.
