Top view of the molecular clouds in the Sgr A complex. Left panel: single flare scenario. The Sgr A complex appears as a compact structure located ≃25 pc behind Sgr A^⋆. The width of the parabola refers to the space sampled by the wavefront in the past 30 years, rather than the duration of the flare. Right panel: multiple flares scenario described in Clavel et al. (2013) and Chuard et al. (2018). The Sgr A complex is illuminated by a short flare (happened ≃135 years ago) and a longer flare (≃228 years ago). Two dashed lines highlight the connection between the Bridge and G0.11-0.11.
