... We compare our results with the GRANAT X-ray observations of the Galactic center (Churazov et al. ... It is instructive to compare our results for the Galactic center starburst with what might be expected for a continuous star formation, with the average rate characteristic for the whole Galaxy. For this continuous star formation model, we would expect to observe in the region of around the Galactic center about 10% of the total number of X-ray sources in the Galaxy. ...
