From the HESS results it follows that Sgr A is a source of high energy protons, which penetrate into molecular clouds producing there a TeV gamma-ray flux. We present arguments that Sgr A may also produce a flux of subrelativistic protons which generate the 6.4 keV line and bremsstrahlung continuum emission from the clouds.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-05-19T12:05:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "galactic center", "kev line emission", "molecular cloud sgr b2", "tev gamma-ray flux", "bremsstrahlung continuum emission" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 820835, "adsabs": "2009arXiv0905.3075D" } } }
