Scientific paper

Annihilation of electrons and positrons (anti-electrons) can produce 511 keV gamma-ray line radiation. Such radiation has been observed coming from our own Galactic Center. This paper describes those observations and discusses the pros and cons of various models for the source of the radiation. A favored interpretation of the data set is in terms of a disk plus spheroid model. It is suggested that the 1E 1740.7-2942 source, a "microquasar" like system located near the Galactic Center can account for most of the observations within a few degrees of the center of our Milky Way galaxy.
