Fe Kα emission for different years. The images were created by selecting events in the [6.1; 6.6] keV energy range. For each image, a background was computed in the [4.5; 6.0] keV band and subtracted. The black cross marks the position of Sgr A⋆, while a recently observed low-luminosity transient (Reynolds et al. 2024) is masked during 2024 observation (gray circle). The position of the main molecular clouds is highlighted by ellipses.
