Frederick K. Baganoff,Y. Maeda,Mark Morris,Mark W. Bautz,W. N. Brandt,Wei Cui,Wei Cui,John P. Doty,Eric D. Feigelson,Gordon P. Garmire,S. Pravdo,George R. Ricker,Leisa K. Townsley +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors obtained the first high-spatial-resolution (~1 arcsec), hard X-ray (0.5-7 keV) image of the central 40 pc (17 arcmin) of the Milky Way Galaxy and have discovered an Xray source, CXOGC J174540.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The discovery of rapid X-ray flaring from the direction of Sagittarius A* provides compelling evidence that the emission is coming from the accretion of gas onto a supermassive black hole at the Galactic Centre.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Chandra Study of Sagittarius A East: A Supernova Remnant Regulating the Activity of Our Galactic Center?

TL;DR: In this article, the X-ray emission from the shell-like, nonthermal radio source Sgr A East (SNR 000.0+00.0), located in the inner few parsecs of the Galaxy based on observations made with the ACIS detector on board the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, was clearly resolved from other complex structures in the region.
Journal ArticleDOI
ASCA Observations of the Sgr B2 Cloud: An X-Ray Reflection Nebula
TL;DR: In this paper, the ASCA results of imaging spectroscopy of the giant molecular cloud Sgr B2 were presented, and the X-ray spectrum was found to be very peculiar; it exhibits a strong emission line at 6.4 keV, a low energy cutoff below about 4 keV and a pronounced edge structure at 7.1 keV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discovery of X-rays from the protostellar outflow object HH2.
TL;DR: The discovery of X-ray emission from one of the brightest and closest Herbig–Haro objects, HH2, at a level consistent with the jet-induced shock model predictions is reported, which concludes that this Herbig-Haro object contains shock-heated material located at or near its leading edge with a temperature of about 106 K.
