The Radio Spectrum of Sgr A*

Duschl, Wolfgang J. und Lesch, Harald (1996): The Radio Spectrum of Sgr A*. In: Symposium - International Astronomical Union, Bd. 169: S. 199-204

Abstract

We discuss the radio spectrum of Sgr A* in the frequency range between ≈ 1 GHz and ≈ 1 000 GHz, show that it can be explained by optically thin synchrotron radiation of relativistic electrons, and point toward a possible correlation between the spectrum of Sgr A∗ and larger-scale (≲ 50 pc) radio emission from the Galactic Center region.
