Scientific paper

The recent discovery of a Galactic Center nonthermal radio filament situated at an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the Galactic plane is part of a growing body of evidence that any large-scale magnetic field in the GC region may be more complicated than a globally ordered dipole. Follow up 6 cm observations of a peculiar X-shaped 90 cm source revealed a system of 3 filaments running parallel to the Galactic plane with another perpendicular to these. Confirmation of these filaments as magnetic structures will place significant constraints on the magnetic field topology. Toward that end we propose to conduct polarimetric observations of these filaments at 13 cm.
