Scientific paper

We propose an ACIS-I observation on a giant molecular cloud Sgr C, located -0.5 degree from the Galactic center (GC). We will establish a new class of X-ray sources, X-ray Reflection Nebula (XRN), following the first discovery of this class, the Sgr B2 cloud, located at +0.6 degree from the GC. Using the XRN concept of both Sgr B2 and Sgr C, we search for an irradiating source and investigate the past activity near the GC region. We then determine the chemical composition and mass of Sgr C, and investigate the GC environments. Also we search for high mass formation activity or X-ray emitting young stellar objects, in the giant molecular cloud Sgr C.
