Scientific paper

We propose to analyze NICMOS observations of the central 5 pc of the Milky Way Galaxy in order to identify the nature of X-ray sources recently detected in a deep set of Chandra observations. We plan to determine the relative numbers of high-mass X-ray binaries with characteristic ages of 10^7 years, and magnetically accreting cataclysmic variables with ages of over 10^9 years. The results will provide information about the recent star formation history, the propensity for binaries to form, and the mass of stellar remnants at the Galactic center.
