We report on the high-precision astrometric observations of maser sources
around the Galactic Center in the SiO J=1--0 v=1 and 2 lines with the VLBA
during 2001 -- 2004. With phase-referencing interferometry referred to the
radio continuum source Sgr A*, accurate positions of masers were obtained for
three detected objects: IRS 10 EE (7 epochs), IRS 15NE (2 epochs), and SiO 6
(only 1 epoch). Because circumstellar masers of these objects were resolved
into several components, proper motions for the maser sources were derived with
several different methods. Combining our VLBA results with those of the
previous VLA observations, we obtained the IRS 10EE proper motion of 76+-3 km
s^{-1} (at 8 kpc) to the south relative to Sgr A*. Almost null proper motion of
this star in the east--west direction results in a net transverse motion of the
infrared reference frame of about 30+-9 km s^{-1} to the west relative to Sgr
A*. The proper-motion data also suggests that IRS 10EE is an astrometric binary
with an unseen massive companion.Comment: High-res. figures are available at
