Description
There are several sources of interest in the unique region of the Galaxy surrounding Sgr A*. I will focus on two topics related to Sgr A*. One discusses the flare activity which suggests the evidence for a relativistic outflow. We consider the possibility that G2 may encounter with this relativistic jet-driven outflow. I will present the light curves of Sgr A* at X-ray and radio wavelengths beyond September 2013. The other topic covers the origin of how young stellar disks are formed in the context of the passage of a giant molecular cloud interacting with Sgr A*. I will also present new measurements in support of on-going star formation in the molecular ring.
