Scientific paper

Building on the great successes of the monitoring program of Sgr A* flaring activity we initiated and fostered in the last years, we propose to continue extended observations of the Galactic nucleus with XMM-Newton in order to further test the supermassive black hole paradigm while studying the accretion flow and radiation mechanisms associated with this unique system at the centre of the Galaxy. Thanks to the unique capabilities of XMM-Newton we will tackle crucial questions that remain unanswered: 1) are X-ray flares from Sgr A* caused by blobs of hot, orbiting plasma in the accretion flow close to the event horizon of the black hole,
