Abstract:
We report the detection of Sagittarius A*, the radio source associated
with our
Galaxy's central massive black hole, at 330 MHz with the Very Large Array.
Implications for the
spectrum and emission processes of Sagittarius A^* are discussed and
several hypothetical geometries of the central region are considered.
