Abstract:

We are performing a survey of the Galactic Center region (Sidoli et al., 1998a) with the BeppoSAX satellite. Several known point sources are visible (including one at the position of SgrA*), as well as newly discovered sources and diffuse emission. Here we report the preliminary results of the on-going analysis of both the point sources and the diffuse X-ray emission.
