Diffuse X‐Rays from the Inner 3 Parsecs of the Galaxy
Recent observations with the Chandra X-ray Observatory have provided us with the capability to discriminate point sources, such as the supermassive black hole Sgr A*, from the diffuse emission within the inner 10'' of the Galaxy. The hot plasma producing the diffuse X-radiation, estimated at ~7.6*10^{31} ergs s^{-1} arcsec^{-2} in …
