Zusammenfassung:We show that it is unlikely that the compact nonthermal radio source at the galactic center is confined, and consider models involving relativistic outflow, spherically or in jets. We show that several dynamically self-consistent models can reproduce the observations, requiring no more total power than the Crab pulsar. We discuss observable characteristics of these models and how future observations may distinguish among them.
