AbstractWe report results of a study of the ionized gas towards the Galactic center with radio recombination lines at cm wavelengths. Both the Green Bank Telescope and the Very Large Array were utilized to probe the kinematics of the ionized gas on a global scale for both diffuse and discrete sources within the inner 2.0° × 0.5° (l × b). A diffuse ∼0 km s−1 gas, a thermal flux continuum fraction exceeding 40%, and an asymmetry where ∼70% of the ionized gas is found at positive Galactic longitudes are the preliminary results briefly discussed here.

Several attempts were made to detect the possible radio recombination lines of positronium near the galactic center. An absorption feature seen at λ6cm, in the D-configuration of the VLA was not confirmed by subsequent observations at λ6cm and λ20cm using the B and C configurations of the VLA. An observation at λ3mm using the IRAM 30m telescope also did not detect any line. On the basis of one recombination line photon for every positron (McClintock 1984), our non-detections imply an upper limit to the positron production rate of < 3.1 × 1043 s−1, within about 2″ of the galactic center.
