摘要
We performed observations of the flux densities of Sgr A(star) at 90 and 102 GHz in order to detect any time lag between these frequencies using the Nobeyama Millimeter Array, which was previously reported at lower frequencies. We detected a radio flare during the observation period on 2005 April 6, and calculated the z-transformed discrete correlation function between the light curves. No time lag between these frequencies was detected. If the expanding plasma model, which explains a time lag at lower frequencies, is valid, the light curve at 90 GHz would be delayed in respect to that at 102 GHz. This result suggests that plasma blobs ejected close to the Galactic center black hole may be widely diverse, especially in optical thickness. Another possibility is that a major portion of the flux above 100 GHz does not originate in blobs.
