Scientific paper

A description is presented of the X-ray observations made with the Einstein Observatory Imaging Proportional Counter of a 1 x 1 degree field centered near the galactic nucleus. In the direction of the galactic center the interstellar medium is generally opaque to all radiation between the visual and extreme ultraviolet due to the large column density of the intervening gas and dust. The importance of this X-ray study lies in the fact that it opens up a new window in which the central regions of the Milky Way Galaxy can be observed. The X-ray image is clearly dominated by a bright, central region of emission elongated along the galactic plane. Also presented are a number of unresolved sources.
