| contents | We investigate the nature of a Galactic center source, G0.17+0.15, lying along the northern extension of the Radio Arc near l~0.2deg. G0.17+0.15 is an HII region located toward the eastern edge of the radio bubble, embedded within the highly polarized Galactic center eastern Lobe where a number of radio filaments appear to cross through the HII region. We report the detection of hydrogen and helium recombination lines with a radial velocity exceeding 140 km/s based on GBT and VLA observations. The morphology of G0.17+0.15, aided by kinematics, and spectral index characteristics, suggests the presence of an external pressure dragging and shredding the ionized gas. We argue that this ionized cloud is interacting with a bundle of radio filaments and is entrained by the ram pressure of the radio bubble, which itself is thought to be produced by cosmic-ray driven outflows at the Galactic center. In this interpretation, the gas streamers on the western side of G0.17+0.15 are stripped, accelerated from 0 to deltav~35 km/s, over a time scale roughly 8x10^4 years, implying that ablating ram pressure is ~700 eV cm-3, comparable to the ~10^3 eV cm-3 cosmic-ray driven wind pressure in the Galactic center region. |
