High-resolution Millimeter-vlbi Imaging of Sgr A*
We present the highest resolution VLBI imaging observations of Sgr A* made at both 7 and 3.5 mm. These data reveal wavelength-dependent intrinsic sizes with an intrinsic emitting region at 3.5 mm of about 1 AU (at a distance of 8 kpc to the Galactic Center). When combined with the lower limit on the mass of Sgr A*, these size measurements provide strong evidence that Sgr A* is a super-massive b...
متن کاملTesting General Relativity with High-Resolution Imaging of Sgr A*
Submilliarcsecond astrometry and imaging of the black hole Sgr A* at the Galactic Center may become possible in the near future at infrared and submillimetre wavelengths. This resolution is sufficient to observe the silhouette the supermassive black hole in the Galactic center casts upon background emission. However, more exciting is the prospect of observing “hot spots” in the accretion flow. ...
متن کاملVlba Imaging at 7 Mm and Linear Polarimetric Observations at 6 Cm and 3 Mm of Sgr A* 1. 7 Mm Vlba Imaging of Sgr A*
We summarize the results of 7 mm VLBA imaging of Sgr A* and discuss some of the diiculties of accurately constraining the size of Sgr A* with VLBI observations. Our imaging results are fully consistent with the hypothesis that the VLBA image of Sgr A* is a resolved elliptical Gaussian caused by the scattering of an intervening thermal plasma. We show that determination of the minor axis size at...
متن کاملThe VLBA Imaging and Polarimetry Survey at 5 GHz
We present the first results of the VLBA Imaging and Polarimetry Survey (VIPS), a 5 GHz VLBI survey of 1,127 sources with flat radio spectra. Through automated data reduction and imaging routines, we have produced publicly available I, Q, and U images and have detected polarized flux density from 37% of the sources. We have also developed an algorithm to use each source’s I image to automatical...
متن کاملHigh resolution observations of SiO masers : comparing the spatial distribution at 43 and 86 GHz
We present sub-milliarcsecond observations of SiO masers in the late-type stars IRC +10011 and χ Cyg. We have used the NRAO Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) to map the 43 GHz (v=1, 2 J=1–0) and the 86 GHz (v=1, 2 J=2–1) SiO masers. All the transitions have been imaged except the v=2 J=2–1 in IRC +10011. We report the first VLBI map of the v=1 J=2–1 28 SiO maser in IRC +10011 as well as the first...
