摘要：
黑洞的引力可以任意程度地偏折光线。因此，黑洞附近的任何源涨落都会在观测者屏幕上产生多个延迟像。对于光学薄的随机发射，这些光回波导致随时间变化的图像（电影）中亮度涨落的相关性。相关模式将源特定特征与广义相对论决定的普遍特征区分开来。这一图景促使人们提出使用两点图像相关函数作为即将开展的黑洞成像实验中极端引力透镜的探针。在本工作中，我们通过计算最先进真实度的黑洞电影中亮度涨落的两点相关函数来测试该方法的可行性。该电影通过光线追踪广义相对论磁流体动力学模拟生成，然后可以模糊到任意角分辨率。在下一代地面甚长基线干涉阵列预期达到的有效分辨率下，这些透镜特征既不会出现在时间平均图像中，也不会出现在光变曲线自相关中。然而，我们证明它们在更精细的两点图像相关函数中清晰可见。我们的积极结果促使更全面地研究解决极端透镜效应所需的仪器规格和推断技术。
英文摘要：
A black hole's gravitational pull can deflect light rays to an arbitrary degree. As a result, any source fluctuation near the black hole creates multiple lagged images on an observer's screen. For optically thin stochastic emission, these light echoes give rise to correlations of brightness fluctuations across time-dependent images (movies). The correlation pattern disentangles source-specific characteristics from universal features dictated by general relativity. This picture has motivated a proposal to use the two-point image correlation function as a probe of extreme gravitational lensing in upcoming black-hole imaging campaigns. In this work, we test the feasibility of this method by computing the two-point correlation function of brightness fluctuations in a black-hole movie of state-of-the-art realism. The movie is generated by ray tracing a general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulation, which can then be blurred to any angular resolution. At an effective resolution expected to be achieved by next-generation terrestrial very-long-baseline interferometric arrays, these lensing signatures appear in neither time-averaged images nor light-curve autocorrelations. However, we demonstrate that they are clearly visible in the more fine-grained two-point image correlation function. Our positive findings motivate a more comprehensive investigation into the instrument specifications and inference techniques needed to resolve extreme lensing effects through correlations.
