H.E.S.S. Analysis of Sgr A* — •Helen Poon — Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, Saupfercheckweg 1, Heidelberg, Germany

The mysterious Galactic Center is an interesting region with frequent flaring activities from the radio to X-ray bands. However, VHE flux always remains steady. Last year, a gas cloud G2 was discovered to be travelling straight to the GC. It is expected to pass the pericenter in September next year. During pericenter passage, it will be so closed to the GC that it will be completely disintegrated by the black hole. VHE flaring activities are expected. In this talk, I am going to present the results of our analysis of the GC using HESS.
