摘要:

我们分析了134 KS钱德拉ACIS-I观测银河系中心(GC)在2011年7月进行。具有视场$17' \times 17'$的X射线图像包含围绕Sgr~A* 的热等离子体。得到的表面亮度图使我们能够适合邦迪热吸积流的最里面的热等离子体周围的GC。我们用热韧致辐射模型和四个高斯分布拟合了从Sgr~A ~* 到$5"$的谱线,这些分布对应于Fe、S、Ar和Ca的K $_α$发射线。在我们的数据图像中发现的从Sgr~A* 到$3"$的X射线表面亮度轮廓,成功地用Bondi球吸积动力学模型进行了拟合。通过模拟表面亮度分布,我们得到了黑洞附近的温度和数密度分布。球形Bondi吸积的最佳拟合模型表明,这种流只在$3"$以下起作用,并暗示外层等离子体密度和温度分别为:$n_{\rm e}^{\rm out}=18.3 \pm {0.1}$ cm $^{-3}$和$T_{\rm e}^{\rm out}= 3.5 \pm {0.3}$ keV。我们表明,Bondi流可以再现银心Sgr~A* 到$3"$的表面亮度剖面。这一结果有力地说明了驻点半径在GC周围复杂动力学中的位置。从我们的模型计算的法拉第旋转对脉冲星PSR J1745-2900附近的GC同意观察到的,最近报道的。

英文摘要:

We analyze 134 ks Chandra ACIS-I observations of the Galactic Centre (GC) performed in July 2011. The X-ray image with the field of view $17' \times 17'$ contains the hot plasma surrounding the Sgr~A*. The obtained surface brightness map allow us to fit Bondi hot accretion flow to the innermost hot plasma around the GC. We have fitted spectra from region up to $5"$ from Sgr~A* using a thermal bremsstrahlung model and four Gaussian profiles responsible for K$_α$ emission lines of Fe, S, Ar, and Ca. The X-ray surface brightness profile up to $3"$ from Sgr~A* found in our data image, was successfully fitted with the dynamical model of Bondi spherical accretion. By modelling the surface brightness profile, we derived the temperature and number density profiles in the vicinity of the black hole. The best fitted model of spherical Bondi accretion shows that this type of flow works only up to $3"$ and implies outer plasma density and temperature to be: $n_{\rm e}^{\rm out}=18.3 \pm {0.1}$ cm$^{-3}$ and $T_{\rm e}^{\rm out}= 3.5 \pm {0.3}$ keV respectively. We show that the Bondi flow can reproduce observed surface brightness profile up to $3"$ from Sgr~A* in the Galactic Center. This result strongly suggests the position of stagnation radius in the complicated dynamics around GC. The Faraday rotation computed from our model towards the pulsar PSR J1745-2900 near the GC agrees with the observed one, recently reported.
