7 Mm Λ Vlba Observations of Sagittarius A*
We present 7 mm λ VLBA observations of the compact nonthermal radio source in the Galactic Center, Sgr A*. These observations confirm the hypothesis that the image of Sgr A* is a resolved elliptical Gaussian caused by the scattering of an intervening thermal plasma. The measured major axis of Sgr A* is 0.76 ± 0.04 mas, consistent with the predicted scattering size of 0.67 ± 0.03. We find an axi...
متن کاملXMM-Newton observations of Sagittarius A East
We present an analysis of a recent XMM-Newton observation of Sgr A East, a supernova remnant located close to the Galactic Centre. Very high quality X-ray spectra reveal many emission lines from highly ionized atoms consistent with a multitemperature thin thermal plasma in ionization equilibrium. We use a two-temperature model to fit the spectra and derive temperatures of 1 keV and 4 keV. There...
متن کاملX-ray observations of the hot phase in Sagittarius A*
Context. We analyse 134 ks Chandra ACIS-I observations of the Galactic Centre (GC) performed in July 2011. The X-ray image with the field of view 17′ × 17′ contains the hot plasma surrounding the Sgr A*. The obtained surface brightness map allows us to fit the Bondi hot accretion flow to the innermost hot plasma around the GC. Aims. Contrary to the XMM-Newton data where a strong 6.4 keV iron li...
متن کاملHI Observations Towards the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal
We have measured the λ21 cm line of Galactic H i over more than 50 square degrees in the direction of the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy. The data show no evidence of H i associated with the dwarf spheroidal which might be consider analogous to the Magellanic Stream as it is associated in both position and velocity with the Large Magellanic Cloud. Nor do the H i data show evidence for any ...
متن کامل1.3 mm Wavelength VLBI of Sagittarius A*: Detection of Time- Variable Emission on Event Horizon Scales
Sagittarius A*, the ∼ 4 × 106 M⊙ black hole candidate at the Galactic Center, can be studied on Schwarzschild radius scales with (sub)millimeter wavelength Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI). We report on 1.3 mm wavelength observations of Sgr A* using a VLBI array consisting of the JCMT on Mauna Kea, the ARO/SMT on Mt. Graham in Arizona, and two telescopes of the CARMA array at Cedar Flat...
