Multiwavelength study of Sgr A*

We identified an increase in the rising radio flux density at 13.37GHz on 2014 Mar. 10 with the VLA that could be the delayed radio emission from a NIR/X-ray flare that occurred before the start of our observation. The X-ray flare on 2014 Apr. 2 occurred for HST during the occultation of Sgr A* by the Earth, therefore we only observed the start of its NIR counterpart. With NIR synchrotron emission from accelerated electrons and assuming X-rays from synchrotron self-Compton emission, the region of this NIR/X-ray flare has a size of 0.03-7 times the Schwarzschild radius and an electron density of 10^8.5-10^10.2cm^-3^, assuming a synchrotron spectral index of 0.3-1.5.

When Sgr A* reappeared to the HST view, we observed the decay phase of a distinct bright NIR flare with no detectable counterpart in X-rays. On 2014 Apr. 3, two 95GHz flares were observed with CARMA, where the first may be the delayed emission of a NIR flare observed with VLT.
