AI中文摘要：
我们研究了施瓦西黑洞对两个邻近、互不相干的点源的波光学成像。利用球谐加法定理，我们为任意源方向构造了分波场，并通过有限孔径傅里叶变换形成图像。为分离双星结构，我们将双星图像与位于亮度质心处、总亮度相等的单源图像进行比较。围绕质心展开可精确消去一阶项，因此主要的结构修正由二阶中心矩μ2=4a²q/(1+q)²控制。数值计算证实了残差对源半间距和亮度比的预期依赖关系。随后我们研究其波长依赖性。在长波长下，成像核在源间距范围内变化很小，使得双星与质心参考几乎无法区分。随着波长减小，更精细的条纹增强了残差，在3≤Mω≤12（2.09≥λ/M≥0.52）范围内残差增大约三倍，尽管该双星在瑞利意义上仍不可分辨。同时，二阶近似逐渐失效：其相对误差在17<Mω<18（0.349<λ/M<0.370）时首次达到1，表明需要更高阶的源矩。这些结果表明，邻近双星的可分辨性本质上是色散的，并确定了双星既可通过其残差被探测又可在二阶精度下被准确描述的波长范围。
英文摘要：
We study wave-optical imaging of two nearby, mutually incoherent point sources by a Schwarzschild black hole. Using the spherical-harmonic addition theorem, we construct partial-wave fields for arbitrary source directions and form images through a finite-aperture Fourier transform. To isolate the binary structure, we compare the binary image with that of a single source of equal total brightness placed at the brightness centroid. Expanding about the centroid removes the first-order term exactly, so the leading structural correction is controlled by the second central moment, $μ_2=4a^2q/(1+q)^2$. Numerical calculations confirm the expected dependence of the residual on source half-separation and brightness ratio. We then study its wavelength dependence. At long wavelengths, the imaging kernel varies little across the source separation, making the binary nearly indistinguishable from the centroid reference. As the wavelength decreases, finer fringes enhance the residual, which grows by about a factor of three over $3\leq Mω\leq12$ ($2.09\geqλ/M\geq0.52$), even though the pair remains unresolved in the Rayleigh sense. Meanwhile, the second-order approximation gradually breaks down: its relative error first reaches unity for $17<Mω<18$ ($0.349<λ/M<0.370$), indicating the need for higher-order source moments. These results demonstrate that the distinguishability of a nearby binary is intrinsically chromatic and identify the wavelength range in which the binary is both detectable through its residual and accurately described at second order.
