Lunar occultation observations of the thermal sources Sgr B2, G0.9 + 0.1 and G1.1-0.1 at 327 MHz have been used to estimate their electron densities and temperatures. A new nonthermal source of size ∼ 10 × 5′ has been found about 7′ to the south of G1.1 − 0.1. A brightness contour diagram with a resolution of approximately 25 × 6′ is presented for the background radio emission near the sources Sgr A and Sgr B2.
