X-Ray and Gamma-Ray Emission from the Galactic Center

We discuss the origin of continuum and line X-ray emission observed in the direction the Galactic Center. We predict a significant flux of de-excitation gamma-ray lines in this direction, which can be produced by subrelativistic protons generated by accretion processes.

Comments: 5 pages, Contributed talk for the proceedings of the Galactic Center Workshop 2009, "The Galactic Center: A Window to the Nuclear Environment of Disk Galaxies", in 19-21 October, Shanghai China, 19-21 October, 2009
