Abstract:New high-resolution, wide-field 90 cm VLA 1 observations of the Galactic Center region by Nord et al. have revealed twenty nonthermal filament (NTF) candidates. We report 6 cm polarization observations of six of these. All of the candidates have the expected NTF morphology, and two show extended polarization confirming their identification as NTFs. One of the new NTFs appears to be part of a system of NTFs located in the Sgr B region, 64 pc in projection north of Sgr A. These filaments cross the Galactic plane… Show more
