Abstract:

In the present paper some consequences of the hypothesis that the supermassive compact object in the Galaxy centre relates to a class of objects without event horizon are examined. The possibility of the existence of such objects was substantiated by the author earlier. It is shown that accretion of a surrounding gas can cause nuclear combustion in the surface layer which, as a result of comptonization of the superincumbent hotter layer, may give a contribution to the observed Sgr A* radiation in the range 1015 \div 1020 Hz. It is found a contribution of the possible proper magnetic moment of the object to the observed synchrotron radiation on the basis of Boltzmann's equation for photons which takes into account the influence of gravity to their motion and frequency. We arrive at the conclusion that the hypothesis of the existence in the Galaxy centre of the object with such extraordinary gravitational properties at least does not contradict observations.
