摘要:

在本文中,我们报告了在Sgr A* 西北部的$2\farcm 6$发现一个孤立的、特殊的致密云,它具有陡峭的速度梯度。这个"蝌蚪“分子云是独一无二的,因为它在位置-速度空间中具有独特的头尾结构。通过跟踪CO { \it J}=3- 2的强度峰值,我们注意到蝌蚪的运动学可以很好地再现为围绕质量为$1\!\times\! 10^{5}\,M_{\odot}$的点状物体的开普勒运动。沿着轨道的线强度比的变化与开普勒轨道模型一致。“蝌蚪”的空间紧凑性和其他波长的明亮对应物的缺乏表明,该物体可能是一个中等质量的黑洞。

英文摘要:

In this paper, we report the discovery of an isolated, peculiar compact cloud with a steep velocity gradient at $2\farcm 6$ northwest of Sgr A*. This ``Tadpole'' molecular cloud is unique owing to its characteristic head-tail structure in the position-velocity space. By tracing the CO {\it J}=3--2 intensity peak in each velocity channel, we noticed that the kinematics of the Tadpole can be well reproduced by a Keplerian motion around a point-like object with a mass of $1\!\times\! 10^{5}\,M_{\odot}$. Changes in line intensity ratios along the orbit are consistent with the Keplerian orbit model. The spatial compactness of the Tadpole and absence of bright counterparts in other wavelengths indicate that the object could be an intermediate-mass black hole.
