This paper reviews the physical state of stars and Interstellar Matter in the Galactic Bulge
(radius R∼0.3-3\, kpc from the dynamical center of the Galaxy), in the Nuclear Bulge …

With the advent of more sensitive all-sky instruments, the transient universe is being probed
in greater depth than ever before. Taking advantage of available resources, we have …

We report the results of the first-epoch observation with the ACIS-I instrument on the
Chandra X-Ray Observatory of Sagittarius A*(Sgr A*), the compact radio source associated …

A young star cluster is a less contrived explanation than a massive black hole for many of
the features seen in the Galactic center. However from a Copernican point of view, this …

We have assembled a sample of 1187 thermonuclear (type I) X-ray bursts from observations
of 48 accreting neutron stars by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer, spanning more than 10 …

We present a new edition of the catalogue of the low-mass X-ray binaries in the Galaxy and
the Magellanic Clouds. The catalogue contains source name (s), coordinates, finding chart …

THE radio source at the centre of our Galaxy1, Sagittarius A*(Sgr A*), seems to be a low-
luminosity version of active galactic nuclei—a massive black hole that is accreting gas from …

Sagittarius A*, which is located at the Galactic center, is a puzzling source. It has a mass of
M=(2.5±0.4)× 10 6 M &sun;, which makes it an excellent black hole candidate. Observations …

Detailed X-ray images and spectra of the galactic-center region up to 10 keV were obtained
with ASCA. Diffuse thermal-emission with distinct Kα lines from highly ionized ions of various …
