Images of the ﹩5^{\prime }\times 5^{\prime }﹩ region around the Galactic nucleus in the 2–10 keV band obtained from MOS events integrated in the 1000 s before the flare (left) and in the last 1000 s of the observation including the flare (right). Pixels were rebinned to a size of ﹩5\farcs 5\times 5\farcs 5﹩. Sgr A* position is in the middle of the central bright pixel visible in the flare image (right).
