Sagittarius A*

Cave ne confundas cum notione hac: Sagittarius A.

Tempus hac pellicula ostentum est 20 annorum. In parte media latet Sagittarius A*, cuius debiles deflagrationes, disperse, videri possunt. Notabiles sunt orbitae stellarum, quae circa vacuum moveri videntur.

Sagittarius A* (sagittarius-a-stella articulandus) vel, forma compendiaria, Sgr A*, est foramen nigrum supermassivum^(en)(d) (~ 4300000 M_☉, ~ 18 R_☉) in centro^(en)(d) Viae lacteae situm. Invenitur apud fines inter constellationes Sagittarii et Scorpii, circa 5.6° australius quam linea ecliptica, prope cumulum Papilionis^(en)(d) (M6) et Lambda Scorpii^(en)(d). A Tellure fere 27000 annos luce mensos distat.

Corpus est densissimus et luminosissimus fons radioelectricus^(en)(d), cuius ipsa luminositas fuit causa nominis. Anno quidem 1954, cum astronomi Ioannes Kraus^(en), Hsien-Ching Ko, et Ioannes Matt, radiotelescopio^(d) Universitatis Civicae Ohiensis utentes, aliquos fontes radioelectricos ab eis inventos frequentiā 250 MHz auscultavissent et in tabulam astronomicam^(en) notavissent, litteram capitaneam ordine luminositatis decrescente cuique fonti apposuerunt, ubi littera A fons luminosissimus indicabat.^[1]

Asteriscus (*) – hodie "stella" articulatus, quasi stellam pingens – fuit appendicula posterior, anno 1982 a Roberto L. Brown addita, cum is tales validissimas emissiones intellexisset ex corpore compacto non thermico oriri.^[2] Ratio asterisci fuit imitatio nomenclaturae chemicae, ubi excitatio atomica eodem signo notatur (exempli gratia, status excitatus helii notatur "He*"), quoniam haec quidem inventio etiam putabatur "excitans".^[3] Hodie nomen sine asterisco, Sagittarius A, fontem radioelectricum compositum indicat, in quo Sagittarius A Orientalis, Sagittarius A Occidentalis et Sagittarius A* numerantur.

Observatio plurium stellarum circum Sagittarium A* moventium, praecipue stellae S2^(en)(d), massam limitemque superiorem radii corporis compacti determinare sivit. Massā radioque magis magisque definitis, astronomi statuere potuerunt Sagittarium A* putandum esse Viae lacteae foramen nigrum supermassivum centrale.^[4] Haec massa hodie aestimatur 4.297 ± 0.012 millionibus massarum solarium.^[5] Tali massae radius Schwarzschildianus fere 12690500 km, vel 18.22 R_☉, vel 0.08 UA (i.e. paulum plus quam quinta pars semiaxis maioris orbitae Mercurii), congruit.

Sagittario A* demonstrato corpore supermassivo et compacto, Reinhardus Genzel et Andrea M. Ghez Praemium Nobelianum physicae anno 2020 acciperunt.^[6] Illā massā illoque radio sola facies tunc nota erat foraminis nigri.

Mense Maii 2022, astronomi, telescopio Horizonte Eventuum^(d) utentes (quod est rete mundiale observatoriorum radioelectricorum), primam imaginem disci accretionis^(en)(d) circum horizontem eventuum Sagittarii A* ediderunt.^[7] Talis imago naturam foramini nigri confirmavit et fuit secunda imago certa unius ex his corporibus post illam foramini nigri supermassivi galaxiae Messier 87 anni 2019.^[8]^[9] Haud ipsum foramen nigrum in photographemate videri poterat, sed materies tantum quae id circumdabat. Talis materies ex pulvere et gase consistit, qui cum in foramen nigrum incidant millionibus gradibus calefiunt.^[10]
