Scientific paper

We propose to continue our Chandra and XMM-Newton monitoring campaign of the 1.2 square degree region centered on Sgr A*. We will be able to detect very faint transients with a peak luminosity of 1E33-1E35 ergs/s, 10-1000 times more sensitive than would be possible with other satellites. This allows us to observe a poorly studied group of transients and to follow the luminosity behavior of faint (1E34-1E36 ergs/s) persistent sources. The Chandra observations are necessary to facilitate rapid follow-up observations of the detected transients at IR and radio wavelengths; the XMM-Newton observations are needed to increase the likelihood of detecting transients in outburst and to obtain better constraints on the long-term time averaged accretion rates of the transients present in the FOV.
