Chandra Observations of Galactic Center: High Energy Processes at Arcsecond Resolution
Q. Daniel Wang
Abstract
About 2 million seconds of Chandra observing time have been devoted to the Galactic center (GC), including large-scale surveys and deep pointings. These observations have led to the detection of about 4000 discrete X-ray sources and the mapping of diffuse X-ray emission in various energy bands. In this review, I first summarize general results from recent studies and then present close-up views of the three massive star clusters (Arches, Quintuplet, and GC) and their interplay with the Galactic nuclear environment.
