Abstract
With the recent detection of X-ray emission from the Arches cluster, we examine the existing Chandra observations of the Galactic center region to determine X-ray properties of known stellar clusters and near-IR cluster candidates. We discuss the first detection of X-ray emission from the Quintuplet cluster, and find its emission characteristics very different from those of the Arches cluster. The X-ray and IR characteristics of these well-known clusters are used to discern if the candidate star clusters are indeed massive, Galactic center star clusters.
