Abstract

High-resolution multi-frequency observations made with the VLA have revealed the presence of stellar winds in two of the three known massive stellar clusters at the Galactic Center (GC). At a distance of only 8.0 kpc, we are able to resolve radio sources associated with individual near-infrared sources known to be losing mass at high rates. Herein, I discuss the spectral and spatial properties of the radio sources and their near-infrared counterparts, their inferred mass-loss rates, variability and the prospects for detecting stellar winds sources in the Central Cluster, near the supermassive blackhole SgrA*. Such massive clusters as these three GC clusters have a profound impact on the interstellar medium, as evidenced by radio and X-ray observations of the surrounding regions.
