Near Infrared Survey of the Nuclear Regions of the Milky Way

Near Infrared Survey of the Nuclear Regions of the Milky Way

Results based on the deep imaging survey of the inner region (~300pc of the bulge within |ℓ| ~ 1.5°, |b| ~ 0.5°) of the Milky Way are reported in this communication. This survey is about 2.5 magnitude deeper than DENIS and 2MASS and is able to detect stars of the red clump at a distance of the Galac...

Zusammenfassung:Results based on the deep imaging survey of the inner region (~300pc of the bulge within |ℓ| ~ 1.5°, |b| ~ 0.5°) of the Milky Way are reported in this communication. This survey is about 2.5 magnitude deeper than DENIS and 2MASS and is able to detect stars of the red clump at a distance of the Galactic center. Toward some directions we find extinction reaching AV = 50 mag. A catalog of the sources is in preparation.
