In the late 1960's, astronomers finally honed in on the GC (Galactic Center) with radio and infrared instruments. They were astounded by the immense energies to be found there. A huge Black Hole is thought to be at the center, about the size of a large star, but containing the mass of four million suns.

In order to achieve this, we have observed the central parsec of the galactic center in near infrared wavelengths since 1992. The main instruments are: - the adaptive optics assisted NIR-camera NAOS/CONICA at the VLT on Cerro Paranal, Chile, performing H, K and L imaging;

Only X-ray observations could provide definitive evidence -- both because X-rays are a characteristic final silent scream of matter as it is engulfed forever by a black hole, and only X-rays can penetrate the thick gas and dust obscuring our direct view of the galactic center.

So, when NASA launched the Chandra X-ray Observatory a little more than two years ago, a team of astronomers led by MIT's Fred Baganoff wasted no time turning the sensitive telescope toward the galactic center.

Second comes SagDEG at about 88,000 light years from us and some 50,000 light years from the Galactic Center. These two dwarfs are currently in close encounters with our Galaxy and in sections of their orbits situated well within the volume ocupied by our Milky Way.

The mosaic gives a new perspective on how the turbulent Galactic Center region affects the evolution of the Galaxy as a whole. This hot gas appears to be escaping from the center into the rest of the Galaxy.
