TL;DR
This paper explores the origins of X-ray and gamma-ray emissions from the Galactic Center, predicting notable gamma-ray lines from subrelativistic protons produced by accretion processes.
Contribution
It introduces a model linking accretion-generated subrelativistic protons to observed high-energy emissions and predicts detectable gamma-ray lines.
Findings
Predicted significant flux of de-excitation gamma-ray lines.
Proposed a connection between accretion processes and high-energy emissions.
Suggests observational signatures for future gamma-ray detection.
Abstract
We discuss the origin of continuum and line X-ray emission observed in the direction the Galactic Center. We predict a significant flux of de-excitation gamma-ray lines in this direction, which can be produced by subrelativistic protons generated by accretion processes.
