Description We recently discovered warm plasma having considerable extent in Galactic
latitude, rising from the Galactic plane at the locations of the Radio Arc and
of the Sgr C thread and showing a sharp edge that correlates with the location
of the radio/mid-IR Galactic Center Lobe (GCL). We seek to investigate the
origin and energetic associated to this plasma. It might be associated to a
large scale inhomogeneous atmosphere present over the entire central molecular
zone, related to continuous or episodic outflows of mass and energy from the GC
region. This would imply a large power to energise it. Alternatively, it could
be, magnetically confined, warm X-ray emitting plasma filling the smaller scale
GCL. We ask for a mosaic of 15 observations of 25 ks (375 ks in total) to scan the GCL with XMM.

Mission Description The European Space Agency's (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESA's second cornerstone of the Horizon 2000 Science Programme. It carries 3 high throughput X-ray telescopes with an unprecedented effective area, and an optical monitor, the first flown on a X-ray observatory. The large collecting area and ability to make long uninterrupted exposures provide highly sensitive observations.
Since Earth's atmosphere blocks out all X-rays, only a telescope in space can detect and study celestial X-ray sources. The XMM-Newton mission is helping scientists to solve a number of cosmic mysteries, ranging from the enigmatic black holes to the origins of the Universe itself. Observing time on XMM-Newton is being made available to the scientific community, applying for observational periods on a competitive basis.
