Scientific paper

The Arches cluster provides a unique laboraotry for understanding a very compact young massive stellar system and its interaction with the Galactic center environment. We request a deep and on-axis ACIS-I observation to probe the nature of the strong X-ray emission detected serendipitously from the cluster. The improved X-ray spatial resolution and sensitivity will allow for 1) X-ray detections of all massive colliding wind binaries, 2) accurate positional measurements of individual X-ray sources for reliable multiwavelength identifications, 3) spectral and timing analyses to determine the nature of the sources, and 4) spatially-resolved spectroscopy of both the diffuse X-ray emission from the cluster wind and the X-ray reflection by molecular gas in the vicinity.
