Аннотация

In April 2017, the Event Horizon telescope received an image of a supermassive black hole in the Sagittarius A* source. This image consists of a ring-like structure that contains three areas with increased brightness (spots). If we assume that these spots are associated with flares near the event horizon of a black hole, then we can estimate its spin. Our estimate gives a value of the order of a ≈ 0.9.

5. Fig. 4. Dependence of the angle between the positions of flares in the disc and in photon rings on the spin of the black hole. The blue line shows the theoretical dependence. The red line shows the dependence calculated taking into account the error in determining the positions of the bright spots in the VLBI images. The error is determined by the limited filling of the spatial frequency region in real VLBI observations
