Scientific paper

The paper addresses the problem of the nature of the galactic center compact radio source (GCCRS) by determining which classes of models are consistent with present observations. It is shown that the relativistic electrons responsible for the synchrotron radiation from the GCCRS are most unlikely to be confined to the source by any of the possible confining mechanisms, and that several dynamically self-consistent models, involving relativistic outflow (spherically or in jets), are capable of reproducing the observations without requiring more total power than the Crab pulsar. Some observable characteristics of these models are examined.
