Spatial distribution of molecular clouds in the Sgr A complex assuming they are illuminated by a 200-year-old flare from Sgr A^⋆. Sgr A^⋆ is located in (0,0,0), a vertical dotted line is plotted to make its position at the axis origin clearer. y-axis points toward positive Galactic latitude; x-axis points toward negative Galactic longitude. Negative values along the LOS are behind Sgr A^⋆.
