VLA observations of the Sgr A complex at 18 cm continuum emission with a resolution of 7′′ × 5′′ (Karlsson et al., in prep.). Sgr A East is shown in blue and Sgr A West in yellow colour. The wedge scale is in mJy/beam. The numbered circles represent the positions and size of the Odin beam at 557 GHz. Positions 1, 5, and 7 are aiming at the +50  km s^-1 cloud, Sgr A^∗/CND, and the +20  km s^-1 cloud, respectively. The white rectangle delineates the area observed by SEST, the white diagonal line is parallell to the Galactic plane, and the red spot marks the position of Sgr A*. The VLA continuum beam is marginally seen in the lower left corner of the figure, but becomes visible by “zooming”.
