英文摘要 | In this paper, we investigate the quality of constraining the spin of the massive black hole (MBH) at the Galactic center (GC). by using full general relativistic simulations of the motion of a surrounding star. We obtain the dependence mapping. of the spin-induced signals on any spin direction of the MBH for given example stars, which indicates the feasibility to test whether the spin direction is the same as the normal of the young stellar disk located at the GC, and, further, to provide insights into the assembly history of the MBH. We demonstrate the quality of constraining the MBH spin that may be achieved, given any set of the astrometric and the redshift precisions of observational facilities. We find that in the ranges of the astrometric and the velocity precisions with 1-30 mu as and 0.1-10 km s(-1), an improvement in astrometric precision would be more effective at improving the quality of constraining the spin than an improvement in velocity precision. We obtain the parameter space of the semimajor axis and the eccentricity for the orbit of the target star that a high-precision constraint on the GC MBH spin can be obtained via the motion of the star. Our results show that the spin of the GC MBH can be constrained with a. 1 sigma error less than or similar to 0.1 or even less than or similar to 0.02 by monitoring the orbital motion of a star, if existing as expected, with a semimajor axis less than or similar to 300 au and eccentricity greater than or similar to 0.95 over a period shorter than a decade through future facilities. |
