There is mounting evidence that suggests magnetic fields are important in a range of phenomena observed in the Galactic center. We report here Zeeman measurements of the magnetic field in the dense molecular gas in the circumnuclear disk (CND; inner radius ∼1.7 pc) using the 1667 MHz OH absorption against the continuum radio source at the Galactic center (Sgr A). These observations with a resolution of 3″×4″ (∼0.15 pc at 8 kpc) were made with the Very Large Array
