A catalogue of soft X–ray sources in the galactic center region

We present a catalogue of 107 point-like X–ray sources derived from a systematic analysis of all the ROSAT PSPC observations of the galactic center region performed in 1992–1993. Besides SgrA*, the massive black hole at the galactic center, 41 X–ray sources have been positionally associated with already classified objects. Twenty are identified with foreground stars and five with known Low Mass X–ray Binaries. The majority of the sources in our catalogue still remains unidentified. They are hard and/or severely absorbed and probably represent a large population of X-ray binaries located in the galactic center region, accreting at low accretion rates, and still largely unknown.
