Polarization of X-ray emission from the Sgr B2 cloud.

CHURAZOV E., SUNYAEV R. and SAZONOV S.

Abstract (from CDS):

The Sgr B2 giant molecular cloud is claimed to be an `X-ray reflection nebula'- the reprocessing site of a powerful flare of the Sgr A* source, which occurred a few hundred years ago. The shape of the X-ray spectrum and the strength of the iron fluorescent line support this hypothesis. We argue that the cleanest test of the origin of X-rays from Sgr B2 would be a detection of polarized emission from this source.
