Utilizing Suzaku observations, we obtained the X-ray spectrum of G359.790.26, an extended X-ray feature nearby the Galactic center (GC) supernova remnant (SNR) SgrA East. We estimated the contribution from the Galactic center diffuse X-rays, which allows us a proper background subtraction from the faint extended source. A thin thermal plasma with a temperature ofkeV and slightly enhanced metal abundances (S and Ar) are required to reproduce the G359.790.26 spectrum. The absorption column density (cm) associated with the plasma indicates that G359.790.26 is located in the GC. The thermal energy of the plasma is estimated to beerg, typical for galactic SNRs. Its center-filling X-ray emission surrounded by a shell-like radio structure suggests that G359.790.26 would be a new member of the mixed-morphology SNR class. The 2.45keV mosaic image covering aGC field implies an alternative possibility that G359.790.26 might be a part of a large ring-like structure with a size of.
