摘要
We present results derived from a wide field, sub-arcminute resolution VLA image of the Galactic Center region at 330 MHz (lambda = 90 cm). With a resolution of similar to 7 '' x 12 '' and an rms noise of 1.6 mJy beam(-1), this image represents a significant increase in resolution and sensitivity over the previously published VLA image at this frequency (eg. LaRosa et al. 2000). The improvement in sensitivity has significantly increased the census of small diameter sources in the region, resulted in the detection of two new Non-Thermal Filaments (NTFs) and 18 new NTF candidates, and resulted in the lowest frequency (tentative) detection of Sgr A*.
