New black hole spin values for Sagittarius A* obtained with the outflow method

Posted by in category: cosmology

Six archival Chandra observations are matched with eight sets of radio data and studied in the context of the outflow method to measure and study the spin properties of |$\rm {Sgr ~A^{*}}$|⁠. Three radio and X-ray data sets obtained simultaneously, or partially simultaneously, are identified as preferred for the purpose of measuring the spin properties of |$\rm {Sgr ~A^{*}}$|⁠. Similar results are obtained with other data sets. Results obtained with the preferred data sets are combined and indicate weighted mean values of the spin function of |$F = 0.62 \pm 0.10$| and dimensionless spin angular momentum of |$a_* = 0.90 \pm 0.06$|⁠
