The extinction curve derived from ISO mid-infrared (IR) observations of the Galactic center (GC) exhibits a surprisingly flat behavior in the ~ 3 to 8 micron region, contrary to the deep minimum expected from standard interstellar dust…

We report the discovery of a system of isolated nonthermal filaments approximately 0.5 deg. northwest (75 pc in projection) of Sgr A. Unlike other isolated nonthermal filaments which show subfilamentation, braiding of subfilaments, and…
