摘要:

为了了解不同波段的耀斑辐射的相关性和辐射机制,我们协调了多台望远镜同时观测SgrA*。我们只专注于我们的多波长观测活动的初步结果的一个方面,即短时间尺度的变化,从SgrA* 在近红外,X射线和无线电波长的发射。结构函数分析表明,各波段的功率谱密度主要分布在小时时间尺度上。我们还报告了分钟的时间尺度变化在7和13毫米放置一个强有力的约束的性质的可变排放。每小时的时间尺度的可变性可以解释的背景下,在该模型中,发射的峰值频率移向较低的频率作为一个自吸收同步加速器源扩展附近的加速站点。另一方面,短时间尺度的可变性对发射区域的大小施加了强约束。假设发射的快速分钟时间尺度波动在无线电波长上是光学厚的,光的传播参数需要相对论粒子能量,从而表明存在SgrA* 的外流。

英文摘要:

To understand the correlation and the radiation mechanism of flare emission in different wavelength bands, we have coordinated a number of telescopes to observe SgrA* simultaneously. We focus only on one aspect of the preliminary results of our multi-wavelength observing campaigns, namely, the short time scale variability of emission from SgrA* in near-IR, X-ray and radio wavelengths. The structure function analysis indicate most of the power spectral density is detected on hourly time scales in all wavelength bands. We also report minute time scale variability at 7 and 13mm placing a strong constraint on the nature of the variable emission. The hourly time scale variability can be explained in the context of a model in which the peak frequency of emission shifts toward lower frequencies as a self-absorbed synchrotron source expands adiabatically near the acceleration site. The short time scale variability, on the other hand, places a strong constraint on the size of the emitting region. Assuming that rapid minute time scale fluctuations of the emission is optically thick in radio wavelength, light travel arguments requires relativistic particle energy, thus suggesting the presence of outflow from SgrA*.
