Galactic Center Transient Search

The Center of our Galaxy is home to many Exotic Stars

The center of our Galaxy, like all galaxies, contains a remarkable variety of creations. This includes the black hole at the center of our galaxy, X-ray repeaters, radio pulsars, clouds of molecules and swarms of electrons orbiting tangled magnetic fields.

Here we present monitoring observations with the NRAO 45 ft. tracking station in Green Bank, WV, using radio recievers at 4 and 2 cm wavelengths.

(UTC) (GHz)

2001 June 12 8.35 Galactic Center average image made in the same manner as the Galactic Plane A (GPA) survey obsevations.
Flux density range is -1 (black) to 20 (white) Jy.

2001 June 12 8.35 Galactic Center deviation image made in the same manner as the Galactic Plane A (GPA) survey obsevations.
Flux density range is -1 (black) to 1 (white) Jy. Notice the transient source near longitude = -0.5, latitude = 2 degrees.

Previous archive commissioning reports are available on line.
