STATISTICS OF X-RAY FLARES OF SAGITTARIUS A*: EVIDENCE FOR SOLAR-LIKE SELF-ORGANIZED CRITICALITY PHENOMENA

X-ray flares have routinely been observed from the supermassive black hole at our Galactic center, Sagittarius A⋆ (Sgr A⋆). The nature of these flares remains largely unclear, despite many theoretical models. In this paper, we study the statistical properties of the Sgr A⋆ X-ray flares by fitting th...
