Scientific paper

Existing Chandra observations of the Galactic center have been used to determine X-ray properties of known stellar clusters (e.g. the Quintuplet, Sgr A East, the IRS 16 and the Arches cluster), near-IR cluster candidates and HII regions associated with massive star forming regions. Preliminary results indicate more than half of the known and candidate stellar clusters in the inner 2o}x0.8{o of the Galactic center region appear to have X-ray counterparts. The X-ray and radio continuum properties of these known clusters and cluster candiates will be described. This research is supported by a NASA grant to the Chandra X-ray Center and Northwestern University.
