In our work, we propose the the scenario in which the wind from the IRS 13 E3 complex dominates.
We estimated analytically the effective angular momentum of the
accretion flow by analyzing the relative strength of the winds of
the nearby donor stars. We analyze the pattern of accretion flow
onto Sgr A
at distances of a fraction of a parsec,
and found that the net angular momentum of this material is low
but non-negligible. Since the resulting angular momentum is low we next
apply the low angular momentum flow model which is expected
to produce multi-transonic behavior with standing shocks.
We show that for the
estimated parameters of the flow in Sgr A* stationary
solution do not exist and the flow pattern consist of
a semi-stationary flow above a few Schwarzschild radii, and
an unstable inner ring/torus.
So far, we restricted ourselves to study of our shocked accretion model
using the post Newtonian pseudo-Schwarzschild framework,
and our theoretical estimation matched reasonably
well with observational data.
