We report the first detection of X-ray emission from the Quintuplet star cluster and compare its X-ray emission to that of the Arches star cluster .
Four point sources are significantly detected near the core of the Quintuplet cluster with a total , absorption-corrected luminosity of \sim 1 \times 10 ^ { 33 } ergs s ^ { -1 } .
Diffuse , thermal emission is also detected near the core of the Quintuplet cluster with an absorption-corrected luminosity of \sim 1 \times 10 ^ { 34 } ergs s ^ { -1 } .
We analyze the diffuse and point-like emission from the Arches and Quintuplet and discuss the possibility that they are host to cluster wind outflows .
We also present the results of our search for X-ray emission from candidate star clusters in the Galactic center ( GC ) region .
We use extinction estimated by near-IR colors and X-ray spectral fits , as well as other IR properties , to determine if the candidate clusters are new , GC star clusters .
We find that three of the six candidate clusters found toward the GC are likely foreground clusters , two of the candidate clusters are not detected in the X-ray data , but have near-IR extinctions consistent with a GC location , and one of the candidate clusters has X-ray and near-IR extinctions consistent with being in the GC .
The X-ray and IR emission from the candidate clusters is compared to the known , massive , GC star clusters .
