Scientific paper

We propose an X-ray survey of a 2.4x0.7 square deg field around the Galactic center, using a set of Chandra ACIS pointings. With the unprecedented spatial and spectral resolutions as well as the broad energy coverage, this survey will provide an invaluable database for studying X-ray pulsars, binaries, supernova remnants, and superbubbles as well as many unique features observed in the field. The resultant exquisite X-ray images, complemented by an existing large-scale ROSAT PSPC mapping in soft X-ray, will allow for direct comparison with similar maps in radio and infrared. In particular, the survey will provide an excellent opportunity to determine the origin of the well-known Galactic ridge X-ray emission.
