1 Galactic Center Diffuse Emission Katsuji Koyama, Kyoto University (1) FeXXV-Kα Line (6.7 keV) Diffuse or Point Sources ? Flux distribution Equivalent width (in comparison with point sources) (2) Kα line of neutral atoms X-ray or electron origin ? Ar, Ca, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni FeI-Kα (6.4 keV) 3-D Distribution Time Variability

2 FeXXV Kα Line (6.7 keV) Profile vs Stellar Mass Distribution (Muno et al. 2006 ApJS,165,173) Kα Excess at GCDX compared to GRXE  Point source origin of GCDX is difficult. 0.01 0.1 1 10 0.1 1 2 Longitude L atitude Nuclear Stellar Cluster Disk Galactic Ridge Bulge

3 F 6.7 : FeXXV-Kα Phenomenological model S(l,b)= S 1 *exp(-|l-l 0 |/e 1 )*exp(-|b-b 0 |/h 1 ) (GC plasma) + S 2 *exp(-|l-l 0 |/e 2 )*exp(-|b-b 0 |/h 2 ) (GR plasma) F 6.9 : FeXXVI-Lyα

5 Fe Lyα/Kα of S, Ar, Ca at the Ridge are larger than those at the GC & vice versa for Fe GC & Ridge Emissions are approximated given by 1-keV +7-keV Plasmas. (1)Flux ratio of 7-keV Plasma /1-keV Plasma in GC is larger that that of Ridge. and/or (2)Temperature ratio of 7-keV plasma/1-keV Plasma at GC is higher than that in Ridge Lyα/Kα

6 GC GR m-CVs for reference Equivalent width (EW) map of Ka line for He- like (EW 6.7 ) and neutral (EW 6.4 ) iron.

7 :Z= ~ 2 solar ~4 solar Kα lines from neutral atoms The EWs ( absolute values and distribution pattern) are consistent with the X-ray fluorescent origin from clouds of ~2 solar abundances. Electron origin requires more than 4 solar for all elements ! GC Plasma The best-fit energies are consistent with Ka line of neutral Ar, Ca, Cr, Mn, Fe and Ni (blue )

10 We found simultanious variablity of the 6.4 keV line & Hard X-rays 2005 2009

11 Parabola x 2 +y 2 = (300-y) 2 (Unit is light-year) Face-on View of the 6.4 keV cloud (e.g. Ryu et al. 2009) GC plasma behind the cloud is heavily absorbed by the cloud, but front side is not absorbed. By spectral fitting, we can determine the flux ratio of “ no absorption” and “heavy absorption”  The ratio give a Face-on position of the clouds

12 Conclusions of the analysis of spatially divided X-ray spectra; 1Major fraction of the GCDX is diffuse is not point sources 2Plasma temperature of the GCDX is higher than that of the GRDX 3We have determined 3-D distribution of the 6.4-keV line clumps. 4 The 6.4 keV line clumps are time variable,  Past (100~300 years) activity of Sgr A*
