Abstract:

We request 110ks of XIS observations to cover four pointings towards the large-scale Galactic Center Lobe (GCL). The GCL consists of a collection of remarkable thermal and nonthermal coherent components with a scale length of about 150 pc perpendicular to the Galactic plane. There is circumstantial evidence for a mild starburst activity and the GCL is viewed as a manifestation of powerful massive stars affecting their surrounding ISM in a starburst episode. The proposed X-ray observations of diffuse soft and hard X-ray emission from the GCL, away from the plane is critical in order to examine the starburst model. The analysis of X-ray emission can be used to distinguish between different scenarios of starburst activity in the nucleus of our activity.
