1 1 X-ay Study of 3-D View of the Galactic Center Region and 1000-yr Activity History of Sagittarius A* Takeshi Go Tsuru (Kyoto University) on behalf of the Suzaku GC team _Vulcano2013_v9.key
2 Observation of the GC region with Suzaku 2 1deg R: keV G: keV B: keV Suzaku is the best observatory to observe diffuse emission from the Galactic center region. High Spectral Resolution, Large Collecting Area, Low and Stable Non-X-ray Background 204pointings, 5.96Msec SWG, AO, LP, KP x2 ( l <3.5, b <5 ) 36 refereed papers, 7 Doctor Theses.

The origin is still under debate. - Truly diffuse plasma filling in the GC region. - Or, collection of faint unresolved point sources.

What is the ionizing particles? Electrons or X-rays?

Sgr A* is only one possible source. Echo of the past activity of Sgr A*
7 Long Term Light Curve of Sgr A* 7 d is echo. Collecting the data of e allows us to obtain past activity of Sgr A* reaching ~1000yr. Very Unique Study Face on (Top View) Sgr A* Only Sgr A* allows us to access such a long-term activity of a SMBH. L X(Sgr A*) LX() x Mass() x d^2 Distance d between and Sgr A* Look back time. The line of sight position of is necessary.
8 X-ray Tomography 8 The GC thermal plasma distributes smoothly. Far An (e.g. Molecular Cloud: MC) is located in the GC thermal plasma. If an (MC) is located in the near side of the thermal plasma, then soft X-rays from the plasma is absorbed by the due to photo-absorption. In the case that the (MC) is located in the far side of the thermal plasma, soft X-rays from the plasma is un-absorbed. Thermal Plasma Absorbed GC Near Observer Thermal Plasma

13 Light curve of Sgr A* in the past 13 Ryu+0.9, +13 time variability With 90% errors L X Past Sgr A* is very quiet at present. Time (year) Current Sgr A* had been in active phase years ago. Sgr A* made nearly one order of magnitude variation in a short time (<10 years) at a couple of times. How about before 600 yrs ago?
14 Access the activity of 1500 yrs ago 14 ASCA GIS : Center of Fe line complex ( keV) 12CO (Oka+98) Maeda89 l = 3.2 Clump 2 Sgr C Sgr B l = 3.5 exhibits especially strong 6.4 kev line MC called Clump 2 is located at the Galactic longitude of 3.2 deg. The ASCA data suggest strong 6.4keV line, which would be due to Clump 2. We would be able to access the activity of 1500 yrs ago (if it would be an ). making Suzaku observation now.
15 S2 A cloud falling into Sgr A* d Declination (arcsec) Sgr A* A cloud is approaching Sgr A* and will pass at ~3100 times the event horizon of Sgr A* in the summer of this year (2013). S Right ascension (arcsec) Gillessen Sgr A* will be active. Activity lasts in the next 30 years.
16 Summary 16 Developed X-ray Tomography. Obtained 3-D position of each with it. Obtained the X-ray light curve of Sgr A* in the past 600 yrs for the first time. Sgr A*has made a number of flares (L X ~10 39 ergs/s) continuously in the past 600 yrs. Sgr A* became quiet (L X ~10 33 ergs/s) in the last 100 yrs.
