VLA images of the Sickle and Pistol H II regions near the Galactic center at 3.6 and 6 cm reveal six point sources in the region where the dense Quintuplet stellar cluster is located. The spectral indices of five of these sources between 6…
In recent years, the Galactic Center (GC) region (200 pc in radius) has been studied in detail with spectroscopic stellar data as well as an estimate of the ongoing star formation rate. The aims of this paper are to study the chemical…
The Milky Way, when viewed in the neutral hydrogen line emission, presents large structures called Galactic supershells (GSs). The origin of these structures is still a subject of debate. The most common scenario invoked is the combined…
The most characteristic high-energy phenomena in the Galactic center (GC) region is the presence of strong K-shell emission lines from highly ionized Si, S, Ar, Ca, Fe and Ni, which form the Galactic Center X-ray Emission (GCXE). These…
Radio-wave scattering is enhanced dramatically for Galactic center sources in a region with radius >~ 15 arc min. Using scattering from Sgr A* and other sources, we show that pulse broadening for pulsars in the Galactic center is {\em at…
Galaxy clusters are known to host many active galaxies (AGNs) with radio jets, which could expand to form radio bubbles with relativistic electrons in the intracluster medium (ICM). It has been suggested that fossil relativistic electrons…
This paper reports the diffuse X-ray features around the Galactic center observed with Chandra. We confirm the ASCA and Ginga discoveries of the large-scale thin-thermal plasma with strong lines in the Galactic center region. In addition,…
The nearby, 30 to 40 Myr old, starburst region of the Gould Belt has formed numerous massive stars. Within its 300 pc radius, it produces core-collapse supernovae at an enhanced rate which is shown to be 75 to 95 Myr{-1} kpc{-2}, i.e. 3 to…
We present some recent studies on the physical conditions and the chemistry of the interstellar medium (ISM) in the Galactic center region (GCR). Large scale shocks in the context of a bar potential can play a role in explaining the…
We present a sensitive $\lambda$20cm VLA continuum survey of the Galactic center region using new and archival data based on multi-configuration observations taken with relatively uniform {\it uv} coverage. The high dynamic range images…
We present starburst models for far-infrared/sub-millimeter/millimeter (FIR/sub-mm/mm) line emission of molecular and atomic gas in an evolving starburst region, which is treated as an ensemble of non-interacting hot bubbles which drive…
New observations of Sgr A have been carried out with the VLA using the broadband (2 GHz) continuum mode at 5.5 GHz, covering the central 30 pc region of the RBZ at the Galactic center. Using the MS-MFS algorithms in CASA, we have imaged Sgr…
The CLASH X-ray selected sample of 20 galaxy clusters contains ten brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) that exhibit significant ($>$5 $\sigma$) extinction-corrected star formation rates (SFRs). Star formation activity is inferred from…
Recent observations of the Arches cluster located within a projected distance of 30 pc from the dynamical center of the Galaxy have shown the presence of diffuse and discrete X-ray continuum emission, diffuse 6.4keV line emission as well as…
The {\it Fermi} Large Area Telescope has recently discovered two giant gamma-ray bubbles which extend north and south of the Galactic center with diameters and heights of the order of $H\sim 10$ kpc. We suggest that the periodic star…
We have recently carried out the first wide-field hydrogen Paschen-alpha line imaging survey of the Galactic Center (GC), using the NICMOS instrument aboard the Hubble Space Telescope. The survey maps out a region of 2253 pc^2 around the…
We report Suzaku results for soft X-ray emission to the south of the Galactic center (GC). The emission (hereafter "GC South") has an angular size of ~42' x 16' centered at (l, b) ~ (0.0, -1.4), and is located in the largely extended…
The inner few parsecs at the Galactic Center have come under intense scrutiny in recent years, in part due to the exciting broad-band observations of this region, but also because of the growing interest from theorists motivated to study…
The Galactic Center's giant outflows are manifest in three different, non-thermal phenomena: i) the hard-spectrum, \gamma-ray `Fermi Bubbles' emanating from the nucleus and extending to |b| ~ 50 degrees; ii) the hard-spectrum,…
A multi-frequency, multi-configuration study has been made of the compact radio sources in the Galactic Center Quintuplet and Arches stellar clusters using the Very Large Array. Ten radio sources have been detected in the Quintuplet…
