Fitting spectrum of Sgr A* with the observation data from FM00 (infrared data shown as open circles are all upper limit.). Although these data may not be the latest, we do not expect that any update would significantly affect our fitting and hence the following RM results. The solid blue line is for a power-law (PL) electron energy distribution with an index of q = 2 and the dashed red line for a relativistic Maxwellian distribution (MW) with γe = kT/mec2. The radius of the jet nozzle r0 sime 2.4 Rs and its height z0 = 8 Rs are assumed.
