摘要:

银河系中心黑洞候选者Sgr A* 是研究低光度吸积物理学的最佳目标,包括近红外和亚毫米波长长基线干涉测量实验。在这里,我们比较图像和光谱产生的广义相对论MHD模拟的一组无线电近红外观测的Sgr A* 的参数调查。我们的模型跨越了弱磁化和强磁化的限制,并使用了一系列的子网格处方的电子加热。我们发现两类方案可以解释宽形状的亚毫米光谱峰值和高度可变的近红外耀斑发射。弱磁化的“圆盘喷射”模型,其中大部分发射产生于喷射壁附近,与过去的工作一致,以及强磁化(磁制动盘)模型,其中热电子无处不在。由于强法拉第旋转,喷流模型在亚毫米波长处强烈去极化,这与Sgr A* 的观测结果不一致。相反,我们倾向于强磁化模型,它提供了一个很好的描述的中位数和高度可变的线性极化信号。同样的模型也可以解释所观察到的平均法拉第旋转测量和潜在的偏振信号最近看到的Sgr A* 近红外耀斑。

英文摘要:

The Galactic center black hole candidate Sgr A* is the best target for studies of low-luminosity accretion physics, including with near-infrared and submillimeter wavelength long baseline interferometry experiments. Here we compare images and spectra generated from a parameter survey of general relativistic MHD simulations to a set of radio to near-infrared observations of Sgr A*. Our models span the limits of weak and strong magnetization and use a range of sub-grid prescriptions for electron heating. We find two classes of scenarios can explain the broad shape of the submillimeter spectral peak and the highly variable near-infrared flaring emission. Weakly magnetized "disk-jet" models where most of the emission is produced near the jet wall, consistent with past work, as well as strongly magnetized (magnetically arrested disk) models where hot electrons are present everywhere. Disk-jet models are strongly depolarized at submillimeter wavelengths as a result of strong Faraday rotation, inconsistent with observations of Sgr A*. We instead favor the strongly magnetized models, which provide a good description of the median and highly variable linear polarization signal. The same models can also explain the observed mean Faraday rotation measure and potentially the polarization signals seen recently in Sgr A* near-infrared flares.
