Detection of the old stellar component of the major Galactic bar

We present near-infrared colour-magnitude diagrams and star counts for a number of regions along the Galactic plane. It is shown that along the l=27°, b=0° line of sight there is a feature at 5.7±0.7 kpc with a density of stars at least a factor of 2 and probably more than a factor of 5 times that o...
