The giant molecular cloud Sagittarius B2 (hereafter SgrB2) is the most massive region with ongoing high-mass star formation in the Galaxy. In the southern region of the 40-pc large envelope of SgrB2, we encounter the SgrB2(DS) region which…
The HESS instrument has observed a diffuse flux of ~ TeV gamma rays from a large solid angle around the Galactic center (GC). This emission is correlated with the distribution of gas in the region suggesting that the gamma rays originate in…
Recently, unprecedentedly accurate data on the orbital motion of stars in the vicinity of the Sagittarius $ {\rm A^*}$ have been available. Such information can be used not only to constrain the mass of the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in…
The mm to sub-mm spectrum of Sgr A* at the Galactic center, as well as its polarization characteristics, are consistent with the inner 10 Schwarzschild radii of a tight Keplerian emitting region of hot, magnetized, orbiting gas. This plasma…
We present images of the Sagittarius (Sgr) B giant molecular cloud at 2368 and 1384 MHz obtained using new, multi-configuration Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) observations. We have combined these observations with archival…
We present a Suzaku X-ray study of the Sagittarius D (Sgr D) HII region in the Galactic center region. Two 18'x18' images by the X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (XIS) encompass the entire Sgr D complex. Thanks to the low background, XIS…
The giant molecular cloud Sagittarius B2, located near the Galactic Centre, has been observed in the far-infrared by the ISO Long Wavelength Spectrometer. Wavelengths in the range 47-196 microns were covered with the high resolution…
We present 7 mm lambda VLBA observations of the compact nonthermal radio source in the Galactic Center, Sgr A*. These observations confirm the hypothesis that the image of Sgr A* is a resolved elliptical Gaussian caused by the scattering of…
The Sagittarius C (Sgr C) complex, located on the western edge of the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ), hosts a mixture of star-forming and non-thermal activity whose X-ray properties remain poorly understood. Using deep archival Chandra and…
Based on Bremer et al. (2011) and Eckart et al. (2012) we report on simultaneous observations and modeling of the millimeter, near-infrared, and X-ray flare emission of the source Sagittarius A* (SgrA*) associated with the super-massive…
We investigate radiatively inefficient accretion flow models for Sgr A*, the supermassive black hole in our Galactic Center, in light of new observational constraints. Confirmation of linear polarization in the submm emission argues for…
The two components of radio emission, above and below 86 GHz respectively, from the Galactic center source-Sgr A* can be naturally explained by the hybrid of thermal and nonthermal electrons in hot accretion flows (e.g., radiatively…
We present an analysis of high-resolution mid-infrared observations at 25 and 37 $\mu m$ of the Sagittarius C Complex (Sgr C) in the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ), based on data from the SOFIA/FORCAST Galactic Center Legacy Survey. Enabled…

Deep imaging of the Sgr A complex at 6 cm wavelength with the B and C configurations of the Karl G. Jansky VLA has revealed a new population of faint radio filaments. Like their brighter counterparts that have been observed throughout the…
We present 2 um narrow-band images of the core H II region in the Galactic star forming region Sagittarius D. The emission-line images are centered on 2.17 um (Brgamma) and 2.06 um (He I). The H II region appears at the edge of a well…
We report the first time-series of broadband infrared (IR) color measurements of Sgr A*, the variable emission source associated with the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center. Using the laser and natural guide star AO systems on…
Radio continuum observations detect non-thermal synchrotron and thermal bremsstrahlung radiation. Separation of the two different emission components is crucial to study the properties of diffuse interstellar medium. The Cygnus X region is…
