Scientific paper

Recent observations of the central 10 pc of the Galaxy are reviewed. The compact nonthermal radio source has a diameter of less than 20 AU, and an elongated source structure, which has been observed for the first time at a wavelength of 3.6 cm. It is a unique radio source in the Galaxy, but it is similar to the nuclear radio sources in external galaxies. Observations of the ionized gas in Sgr A West at a 0.3 arcsec resolution support an infall hypothesis for its origin in the central 3 pc. Similarities of the galactic center to Seyfert nuclei are pointed out.
