摘要:

我们计算了当G2云穿过Sgr A* 的吸积盘时,可能在G2云前形成的弓形激波所产生的射电光变曲线。无线电发射电子的冲击加速度捕获自洽的第一性原理粒子模拟装置。我们表明,无线电光度预计将在2013年初达到最大值,大约一个月后,弓形冲击穿过轨道近心。我们估计在1.4 GHz的峰值无线电通量为1.4 - 22 Jy取决于假设的轨道方向和参数。我们表明,最有希望的频率为无线电观测是在0.1<nu<1 GHz的范围内,其中弓激波发射将远远强于固有的无线电通量的所有模型考虑。

英文摘要:

We calculate radio light curves produced by the bow shock that is likely to form in front of the G2 cloud when it penetrates the accretion disk of Sgr A*. The shock acceleration of the radio-emitting electrons is captured self-consistently by means of first-principles particle-in-cell simulations. We show that the radio luminosity is expected to reach maximum in early 2013, roughly a month after the bow shock crosses the orbit pericenter. We estimate the peak radio flux at 1.4 GHz to be 1.4 - 22 Jy depending on the assumed orbit orientation and parameters. We show that the most promising frequencies for radio observations are in the 0.1<nu<1 GHz range, for which the bow shock emission will be much stronger than the intrinsic radio flux for all the models considered.
