Scientific paper

The authors report observations made with a coded mask X-ray telescope flown on the Spacelab 2 mission (29 July to 6 August 1985), yielding for the first time images of the galactic centre in high-energy X-rays up to 30 keV. Components detected include a region of diffuse emission 2° in diameter and several new point sources. At the higher energies emission from the nucleus is weak and the region is dominated by one of the surrounding point sources.
