Black Hole Shadow Image and Visibility Analysis of Sagittarius A* 黄磊 上海天文台 galactic plane Galactic center
Sgr A* --- The Black Hole Candidate in Milky Way Galaxy Mass : 4 x 106 M⊙ D : 8 kpc Angular size of horizon : ~ 20 μas Angular size of Shadow : ~ 50 μas
需要解决的问题: 1. 吸积模型 2. 相对论相应 3. 星际散射 4. 角直径测量 5. 可见度函数 Luminous Accretion Flow Black Hole 2. 相对论相应 Photon Trajectory Interstellar Scattering 3. 星际散射 4. 角直径测量 5. 可见度函数 VLBI Observation
光谱特征 RIAF-model vs jet-model 1. 吸积模型 Yuan et al. 2003 Thermal Power-law
2. 相对论相应 ~5Rs Fukue et al. 1999 If observed towards the edge, photons start from the back of the black hole may also reach us. If observed towards the face, in particular, of the optically thick RIAF, only photons start from the surface can reach us.

黑洞倾角与方位角的定义 北 (方位角) (倾角) 视线方向 观测者 东
北 波长 1.3mm: 视线方向 东
波长 3.5mm,倾角 90O,方位角 0O: 北 Ray-tracing 视线方向 东 Convolutes with Interstellar Scattering Screen
4. 角直径测量 Huang et al. 2007 (accepted)
结论:倾角大, 中心轴向北
考虑吸积流的运动:
可见度函数 VLBI Observation .. ? A good U-V coverage is important.
No BH BH 3.7M BH 2.6M Visibility profiles of a luminous source WITH and WITHOUT a BH shadow differ a lot. (Miyoshi et al. 2004) (Yuan et al. 2006)
