摘要:

银河系中心的超大质量黑洞人马座A* 的发射区和黑洞阴影可以用毫米甚长基线干涉测量法探测。我们的目标是探测发射等离子体周围的Sgr A* 的几何形状,通过使用模型化的毫米VLBI关闭相位计算在1.3毫米,并限制观察者的倾斜角和位置角的黑洞自旋轴。我们已经模拟了三种不同模型的Sgr A* 的发射图像:轨道斑点,磁盘模型和喷流模型。轨道点模型被用作测试案例的情况下,而磁盘和喷流模型是物理驱动的情况下,基于标准的三维广义相对论磁流体动力学模拟的热吸积流。我们的研究结果进行了比较,目前可用的关闭阶段的观测限制。我们的研究结果表明,更多的模型与更接近的边缘上的视角是一致的观测限制。一般来说,射流和盘的几何形状可以再现类似的关闭阶段,为不同的观察和位置角度。因此,有利的黑洞自旋方向和它的大小是强烈的模型依赖。我们发现,喷流和磁盘模型可以解释目前的VLBI限制。我们的结论是,新的观测在1.3毫米,可能在更长的波长,包括其他三角形的VLBI基线是必要的解释Sgr A* 发射和推定的黑洞自旋参数。

英文摘要:

The emission region and black hole shadow of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center, can be probed with millimeter Very Long Baseline Interferometry. Our goal is to probe the geometry of the emitting plasma around Sgr A* by using modeled mm-VLBI closure phase calculations at 1.3 mm and to constrain the observer's inclination angle and position angle of the black hole spin axis. We have simulated images for three different models of the emission of Sgr A*: an orbiting spot, a disk model, and a jet model. The orbiting spot model was used as a test case scenario, while the disk and jet models are physically driven scenarios based on standard three-dimensional general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of hot accretion flows. Our results are compared to currently available closure phase observational limits. Our results indicate that more models with closer to edge-on viewing angles are consistent with observational limits. In general, jet and disk geometries can reproduce similar closure phases for different sets of viewing and position angles. Consequently, the favored black hole spin orientation and its magnitude are strongly model dependent. We find that both the jet and the disk models can explain current VLBI limits. We conclude that new observations at 1.3 mm and possibly at longer wavelengths including other triangles of VLBI baselines are necessary to interpret Sgr A* emission and the putative black hole spin parameters.
