In the X-ray images of the 0.7--3 keV or 3--10 keV bands, we found 52 point sources and a dozen diffuse sources. All the point sources are uniformly fitted with an absorbed power-law model. For selected bright sources, Sgr~A$^*$, AX~J1745.6$-$2901, A 1742$-$294, SLX 1744$-$300, GRO~J1744$-$28, SLX 1737$-$282, GRS 1734$-$292, AX J1749.2$-$2725, KS 1741$-$293, GRS 1741.9$-$2853, and an unusual flare source XTE J1739$-$302, we present further detailed spectral and timing analyses, and discuss on their nature. A dozen extended X-ray sources comprise radio supernova remnants, giant molecular clouds, and those new discoveries. Most show emission lines from either highly ionized atoms or low-ionized irons. The X-ray spectra were fitted with either a thin thermal or power-law model. This paper summarizes the results and provides the ASCA X-ray source catalogue in the Galactic Center region. \end{abstract} \keywords{catalogs --- surveys --- Galaxy: center --- X-rays: general --- X-rays: stars --- stars: general } \section{INTRODUCTION \label{sec:intro}} \end{document}
