Scientific paper

We present the results of 16 hours of ongoing observations of the Galactic Center region (including Sagittarius A*) with the Whipple High Energy Gamma-Ray Telescope. The Galactic Center is an interesting region to study because it contains one of the brightest EGRET unidentified sources. It is still the most likely place to look for gamma-rays from neutralino dark-matter annihilation if the galactic halo has a cusp that extends down to scales of <100 parsecs from the center. Furthermore, recent X-ray observations (with Chandra) indicate flaring activity, possibly pointing to AGN-like behavior. We apply a data analysis method optimized for large zenith angle observations on an independent Crab Nebula data set. We also discuss other systematic problems associated with observations of extended sources in the galactic plane.
