Imaging of the Galactic Center field by KVANT and GRANAT
Abstract
Two currently operating international X-ray observatories MIR-KVANT and GRANAT are caring a number of coded mask telescopes with imaging capabilities in wide energy range from 2 up to 1300 keV. The Galactic Center region is the highest priority target for these instruments. Their results in 1988-1990 demonstrate the efficiency of coded mask telescopes observations in hard X-rays.
