Abstract
Observations of an X-ray burst which occurred during the Spacelab-2 observations of the Galactic Center region are reported, and it is shown that it originated in the more southerly component of a previously reported persistent X-ray object, now resolved into two sources separated by 3 arcmin. Present knowledge of the number and location of the Galactic Center bursters is reviewed and other observations of the region, including the detection of a new soft spectrum X-ray source, SLX1746-331, are presented.
