ABSTRACT
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.

PAPERS
Authors marked in red are (co-)investigators in the proposal

Classification of papers are:
- CLASS 1:   papers that present specific XMM-Newton observations
- CLASS 2: papers that refer to published XMM-Newton results with complementary observations, follow-up analysis, or theoretical analysis
- CLASS 3: further deliveries which resulted from the program and which are made available to the community (e.g. source catalogues, processed images or spectra in public data base)
- CLASS 4: comments and suggestions from PI
