Drs. Hall, Sellgren, and Becklin will make observations at near-                infrared wavelengths in order to characterize the motions and the               brightness of the population of late type stars located within a 5              parsec radius of the Galactic Center.  This will test the                       hypothesis of the existence of a massive condensed object at the                Galactic Center, and it will provide unique kinematic data which                can be applied to our understanding of the nuclei of other                      galaxies.                                                                                                                                                       The center of our Galaxy provides a unique opportunity to study a               galactic nucleus at spatial scales as small as a few hundredths of              a parsec and to obtain observations of individual stars within the              region.  Detailed studies of the nucleus of our own Galaxy may                  prove vitally important in the interpretation of other, more                    energetic galactic nuclei.  Because of heavy obscuration by dust,               the center of the Galaxy is not observable at visible wavelengths.                                                                                              It can be studied, however, at infrared and longer wavelengths,                 and advances in spectroscopic instrumentation and array detectors               now make possible detailed studies in the near infrared.
