摘要:

利用广义相对论磁流体动力学模拟吸积黑洞,我们表明,一个适当的扣除线偏振每像素的总强度图像可以增强光子环的功能。我们发现,光子环通常是一个因素的$\simeq 2$少极化比其余的图像。这是由于等离子体和广义相对论效应的结合,以及磁湍流。当没有其他持续去偏振图像特征时,随着时间的推移加上减去的残差会导致光子环的清晰图像。我们表明,该方法工作良好的样品,可行的GRMHD模型的Sgr A* 和M87*,其中的光子环性质的测量将提供新的测量黑洞质量和自旋,并可能允许测试的“无毛”定理的广义相对论。

英文摘要:

Using general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of accreting black holes, we show that a suitable subtraction of the linear polarization per pixel from total intensity images can enhance the photon ring features. We find that the photon ring is typically a factor of $\simeq 2$ less polarized than the rest of the image. This is due to a combination of plasma and general relativistic effects, as well as magnetic turbulence. When there are no other persistently depolarized image features, adding the subtracted residuals over time results in a sharp image of the photon ring. We show that the method works well for sample, viable GRMHD models of Sgr A* and M87*, where measurements of the photon ring properties would provide new measurements of black hole mass and spin, and potentially allow for tests of the "no-hair" theorem of general relativity.
