Notes. Here, Z is the metallicity assumed for the MC, R the radius of the cloud as seen from Sgr A* (pc), F6.4 the flux measured in the Fe-Kα line (photons/cm2/s), Ω the solid angle (scaled to the whole sky, in units of 10-5) subtended by the MC from the perspective of Sgr A*, d(pc) the distance of the MC from Sgr A*, dp(pc) and dl.o.s.(pc) the distance projected onto the plane of the sky and along the line of sight, respectively.
