Scientific paper

The results of a new balloon-borne measurements of gamma-ray emission from the Galactic Center using a germanium telescope are reported. The 511-keV line was detected at a flux level of (9.8 + or - 1.9) x 10 to the -4th photons/sq cm/s on May 1, 1988 and (12.3 + or - 1.6) x 10 to the -4th photons/sq cm/s on October 29, 1988. Apparently the compact object reemerged sometime between 1984 and 1988. Flux was also measured from a point in the Galactic Plane 25 deg west of the Galactic Center, and was found to be (2.4 + or - 1.7) x 10 to the -4th photons/sq cm/s.
