摘要：
A model is developed for the H2O maser source observed in the circumnuclear region of the galaxy NGC 4258. The maser emission originates at distances of 0.15-0.29 pc from the center in a thin, cold accretion disk (gas-dust torus) rotating around a supermassive black hole of mass 4 x 10(7) M.. The conditions for the emergence of an inverse population of the signal 6(16)-5(23) levels in ortho-H2O working molecules are simulated numerically. The complex line profile, which includes both central and high-velocity components, is calculated. A comparison of the calculations with radiointerferometric and spectrophotometric observations allowed the physical conditions in the emitting region to be determined.
