Scientific paper

New observations are presented of Sgr A* and its surroundings, made in 1989-1991 at 1300 and 870 micron wavelengths with the MPIfR He-3 cooled bolometer aboard the IRAM 30-m-Mm Radiotelescope. The observations support the steep increase with frequency of the Sgr A* spectrum at submm wavelengths. Previous observations at submm/IR wavelengths are used to derive the total mm/IR spectrum of Sgr A* and its immediate surroundings. The spectrum was found to contain three different Sgr A* components, 1, 2, and 3, which emit primarily in the cm/mm, in the submm/FIR, and in the NIR regions, respectively, in the central few arcseconds.
