Scientific paper

Recent ASCA observations reveal the distribution of diffuse 2-10 keV continuum emission from the inner 0.2 deg of the Galactic center, in particular, a weak X-ray counterpart to the unusual radio Arc with their long 15 arcmin extent and narrow 5-10 arcsec width. The proposed AXAF observations of the Arc with ACIS-I will examine the nature of the association between radio filaments and the X-ray gas but also to study if the X-ray counterpart to the synchrotron radio filaments has any nonthermal characteristics in the X-ray. The correlative study between the X-ray and radio images has the potential to provide important clues on the nature of the acceleration of relativistic particles of the nonthermal filaments and on the nature of high energy activity at the Galactic center.
