The Galactic Nucleus
Most radiation from the GC originated in an extended
region about 20 across (above diagram). There are
several "hot spot " or discrete emission sources
located in the nuclear region. The GC appears
somewhat different when viewed through the radio
spectrum than it does through the x-ray or infrared
windows. There is a powerful discrete x-ray source
and at least three discrete infrared sources that each
radiate a little less than a million times more in the
infrared than our Sun does at all wavelengths.
The GC has four ways of emission at radio
frequencies:
1. Emission over a broad continuum of
wavelengths by energetic electrons held in
orbit by a magnetic field (synchrotron
radiation);
