Galactic Center teems with the most extremal and exotic objects. Among them are so-called filaments — long and thin structures. Some of them are visible in radio, the other — in X-rays. They are supposed to appear as a result of relativistic electrons' and positrons' synchrotron radiation. These particles are born near pulsars — rotating neutron stars with strong magtic fields. New observations support this hypothesis.
