Radio Detections of Stellar Winds from the Pistol Star and Other Stars in the Galactic Center Quintuplet Cluster

VLA images of the Sickle and Pistol H II regions near the Galactic center at 3.6 and 6 cm reveal six point sources in the region where the dense Quintuplet stellar cluster is located. The spectral indices of five of these sources between 6 cm and 3.6 cm have values of alpha = +0.5 to +0.8, consistent with the interpretation that the radio sources correspond to ionized stellar winds of the massive stars in this cluster. The radio source associated with the Pistol Star shows alpha = -0.4 +/- 0.2, consistent with a flat or slightly non-thermal spectrum.
