Scientific paper

We present new and archival Very Large Array (VLA) radio interferometry observations of the 1720 MHz OH masers in the Galactic Center (GC). Most 1720 MHz OH masers arise in regions where the supernova remnant Sgr A East is interacting with the interstellar medium. However, here we also present some previously detected positive velocity masers together with some newly detected negative velocity masers. In combination, those masers appear to bracket Sgr A* in position and velocity. The location and velocities of those masers are consistent with their being in the circumnuclear disk (CND).
