摘要:

我们提出了新的观察最近发现的气体云G2目前下降到大规模的黑洞在银河系中心。新的数据证实,G2是在一个高度椭圆形的轨道上,预计在2013年中期通过近心点。更新后的轨道有一个更大的偏心率0.966,近心点的历元比之前估计的晚了两个月,标称最小距离只有2200史瓦西半径。2012年夏季G2的速度梯度进一步发展到600 km/s的半高宽。我们还检测到类似的总通量的尾巴,并在相同的轨道上的G2沿轨迹在高的意义。由于潮汐剪切气云的简单模型仍然很好地描述了数据,因此尚未检测到水动力效应。在2008年至2012年期间,G2的通量变化不超过10%,不利于来自储层的额外气体释放到干扰扩散气体组分的模型。

英文摘要:

We present new observations of the recently discovered gas cloud G2 currently falling towards the massive black hole in the Galactic Center. The new data confirm that G2 is on a highly elliptical orbit with a predicted pericenter passage mid 2013. The updated orbit has an even larger eccentricity of 0.966, an epoch of pericenter two months later than estimated before, and a nominal minimum distance of 2200 Schwarzschild radii only. The velocity gradient of G2 has developed further to 600 km/s FWHM in summer 2012. We also detect the tail of similar total flux and on the same orbit as G2 along the trajectory at high significance. No hydrodynamic effects are detected yet, since the simple model of a tidally shearing gas cloud still describes the data very well. The flux of G2 has not changed by more than 10% between 2008 and 2012, disfavoring models where additional gas from a reservoir is released to the disrupting diffuse gas component.
