AbstractWe have performed monitoring observations of the 3-mm flux density toward the Galactic center compact radio source Sgr A* with the ATCA since 2005 October. It has been found that during several observing epochs Sgr A* was quite active, showing significant intraday variation. Here we report the detection of an IDV in Sgr A* on 2006 August 13, which exhibits a 27% fractional variation in about 2 hrs.
