Over a 2 year period we have conducted a di†raction-limited imaging study at 2.2 km of the inner 6A ) 6A of the central stellar cluster of the Galaxy using the W. M. Keck 10 m telescope. The K-band images obtained in 1995 June, 1996 June, and 1997 May have the highest angular resolution obtained at near-infrared wavelengths from ground or space pc) and reveal a large population of (h res \ 0A\0.002 faint stars. We use an unbiased approach for identifying and selecting stars to be included in… Expand
