Scientific paper

We propose a 25-ks ACIS-I observation of Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the Galactic supermassive black hole candidate. These data will be used 1) to search for and characterize additional rapid X-ray flares from Sgr A*, 2) to characterize the long-term flux and spectral variability of Sgr A* quiescent emission on timescales of years, and 3) to monitor the fluxes and hardness ratios of the 200 discrete X-ray sources in the field of view in order to identify X-ray binaries in the direction of the Galactic center.
