Intense sub-arcsecond structure in the galactic center
Abstract
The detection of strong radio emission in the direction of the inner 1-pc core of the galactic nucleus is reported. The structure is bright (brightness temperature greater than or about equal to 10,000,000 K), unresolved (angular diameter less than or about equal to 0.1 sec), and distributed within a few seconds of the brightest infrared and radio emission seen previously.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
