同时进行H.E.S.S.在X射线耀斑期间人马座A* 的观测和钱德拉观测

Simultaneous H.E.S.S. and Chandra observations of Sagittarius A* during an X-ray flare

H. E. S. S. Collaboration, :, F. Aharonian

摘要:

从Sgr A* 观测到的快速变化(~10分钟时间尺度)的非热X射线发射意味着粒子加速发生在超大质量黑洞的事件视界附近。TeV γ源HESS J1745-290与Sgr A ~* 重合,可能与它的X射线发射密切相关。需要同时进行X射线和TeV观测来阐明这些天体之间的关系。我们报告联合H.E.S.S./钱德拉观测于2005年7月进行,期间探测到一个X射线耀斑。尽管Sgr A* 的X射线通量增加了9倍,但没有发现该区域TeV伽马射线通量增加的证据。我们发现,在99%的置信水平下,可以排除2倍或更大的伽马射线通量的增加。这一发现不利于keV和TeV辐射与相同的加速粒子群相关的情况,以及大部分伽马射线辐射产生于超大质量黑洞的~10^{14} cm(~100 R_S)范围内的情况。

英文摘要:

The rapidly varying (~10 minute timescale) non-thermal X-ray emission observed from Sgr A* implies that particle acceleration is occuring close to the event horizon of the supermassive black hole. The TeV gamma-ray source HESS J1745-290 is coincident with Sgr A* and may be closely related to its X-ray emission. Simultaneous X-ray and TeV observations are required to elucidate the relationship between these objects. We report on joint H.E.S.S./Chandra observations performed in July 2005, during which an X-ray flare was detected. Despite a factor of 9 increase in the X-ray flux of Sgr A*, no evidence is found for an increase in the TeV gamma-ray flux from this region. We find that an increase in the gamma-ray flux of a factor of 2 or greater can be excluded at a confidence level of 99%. This finding disfavours scenarios in which the keV and TeV emission are associated with the same population of accelerated particles and in which the bulk of the gamma-ray emission is produced within ~10^{14} cm (~100 R_S) of the supermassive black hole.
