Scientific paper

The dominant 10 - 20 microns source in the galactic center is a 4" x 6" object, coinciding with a compact radio source. It is suggested that the radiation is due to dust, which competes efficiently with the hydrogen to capture Lyman-continuum photons, or that the dust is heated by protostars which are just becoming hot enough to start ionizing the hydrogen.
