Scientific paper

We propose Chandra observations of X-ray flares from Sgr A*, in conjunction with near-IR and submm observations with an already approved observation with the ESO's VLT and APEX. We intend to measure simultaneously the spectral index distribution of flare emission in X-ray, near-IR and submm wavelengths, the time average flux and duration of flares, the statistics of flare activity and to confirm previously reported quasi-periodic variability. These measurements will have far-reaching implications for testing the inverse Compton scattering (ICS) and synchrotron models of low-luminosity flares onto and outflow from supermassive black holes, and constraining the inferred black hole spin.
