X-raying the Milky Way Center

Speaker

Gabriele Ponti (Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF))

Description

The heart of the Milky Way is a laboratory for high energy astrophysics, containing the Galactic supermassive black hole, thousands of X-ray point sources and prominent diffuse X-ray emission. I will review our knowledge of the present and past activity from the supermassive black hole as well as its relation to the recently discovered outflow connecting the central parsecs to the base of the Fermi bubbles.
