5 Correlation with Molecular clouds Correlation with Giant Molecular Clouds Ionization of Fe atoms due to external particles (E>7.1 keV, Fe-K edge) → Fluorescence X-ray （ Neutral Fe line ） -> a high energy phenomenon hides 6.4 keV map Molecular gas （ CS line ） Tsuboi+99

6 Origin of the 6.4 keV Emission X-ray illumination (Koyama+96; Murakami+00) - pronounce Fe line (EW>1 keV) -deep Fe edge (equivalent to N H > 10 24 cm -2 ) -peak shift to the GC from the MC core -> illuminated from the GC Luminal irradiating source (Lx ~ 10 39 erg/s) larger than L Edd for 1 M ◎ => big flare of Sgr A* had occurred in the past? 2’=5 pc Gray scale: 6.4 keV Contour : MC core (Radio) Murakami+00 5 Energy (keV) 9 Sgr B2 To GC

7 Origin of the 6.4 keV Emission Low-energy Cosmic-ray impact Electron (E= a few 10 keV) : (e.g. Yusef-Zadeh+07) – Correlation with non-thermal radio filaments (synchrotron by GeV e - ) – Heating of MCs / HE gamma-rays Proton (E=a few 10 MeV): (e.g. Dogiel+09) – Generation by Sgr A*, capturing a star 10 pc X-ray (contour) Ratio(gray) Sgr C Yusef-Zadeh+07 Need multiple information about the origin Constraint of an irradiating source Suzaku observation

18 1.3. Time variability X-ray flux in the Sgr B2 MCs had decreased by a factor of ~0.5 in 10 years (Inui+09) 1994 (ASCA) 2000 (Chanrda) 2003 (XMM) 2005 (Suzaku) Systematic uncertainty remains because of data taken from different satellites. Suzaku observation of the same position in 2005 / 2009

19 Observation in 2005/2009 with Suzaku 1.3. Time variability 6.4 keV line ・ Sgr B2/M0.74 become darkened. ・ No change in the surroundings Hard X-ray ・ Sgr B2/M0.74 become darkened. ・ No significant change in the surroundings. Time variability both in 6.4 keV and hard continuum Coherent decrease between the two MCs 0 0.5 1

20 MC Size of ~10 lys ⇔ time scale of variability <10 years – MCs should be irradiated by X-rays – not by protons (E  10 MeV; v = 0.1 c < light velocity). Coherent decrease suggests a single origin for the two MCs.

21 Illuminating source – required luminosity 1.3. Time variability Lx of illuminating source depends on the distance from the MC Sgr B2 case: No such a bright XRB has been observed in the Sgr B2 vicinity. No XRB with Lx~10 39 erg/s has been found even in the GC region. Possible scenario is a past big flare of Sgr A*, super-massive black hole with M=4x10 6 M ◎ 15 pc

22 Other results of time variability 1.3. Time variability Integral (20—60 keV) (Terrier+10) – Decrease by half in 8 year Consistent with our result XMM (6.4keV) (Ponti+10) – Super-luminal motion in MCs near Sgr A* (d  5 pc) Chandra (2-10keV) (Muno+08) – MCs near Sgr A* These facts also suggest the past X-ray flare of Sgr A*. 2004 2007 2008 2009 XMM (Ponti et al. 2010)

Time variability 1.4. 3-D distribution of the 6.4 keV MCs 1.5. Diffuse emission other than MCs 2.Prospective in the Astro-H era 3.Summary

24 1.4. 3-D distribution of the 6.4 keV MCs In order to investigate the detailed history of the past activity, we must know positions of MCs relative to the super-massive black hole. Measurement of MC position: – MCs absorb a part of plasma emission

28 2. Prospective in the Astro-H era Direct measurement of motion / position of MCs – Shift : 50 km/s  E = 1 eV@6.4 keV c.f. velocity  200 km/s – Shape of the Compton shoulder -> source direction Chemical composition in GC – K-shell lines and absorption edge – Ratio of Comp. shoulder to 6.4 keV line –> Hydorogen density in the MC
