Image Details
Caption: Figure 2.
(Top left) The 2.1 μm (black) and 3–10 keV NuSTAR (green) light curves of Sgr A* show a strong X-ray flare coincident with an NIR flare. (Top right) A close-up view of the NIR light curve of the flare at 2.1 μm is shown against the X-ray light curve but is normalized such that both light curves rise together. The X-ray flare is detected within the envelope of the NIR flare. (Bottom) Similar to top right but for the light curve at 4.8 μm.
