Abstract
Nonthermal radio emission in the Galactic Center reveals a number of vertical structures across the Galactic plane, which are attributed to poloidal magnetic field and/or energetic outflow. Thermal radio emission comprises star forming regions distributed in a thin, dense thermal gas disk. The thermal region is associated with a dense molecular gas disk, in which the majority of gas is concentrated in a rotating molecular ring. Outflow structures like the radio lobe is associated with rotating molecular gas at high speed, consistent with a twisted magnetic cylinder driven by accretion of a rotating gas disk.
