The Habitability of the Galactic Bulge [PDF]

open access: yesLife, 2020
We present a new investigation of the habitability of the Milky Way bulge, that expands previous studies on the Galactic Habitable Zone. We discuss existing knowledge on the abundance of planets in the bulge, metallicity and the possible frequency of ...

Bulges [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2000
We model the evolution of the galactic bulge and of the bulges of a selected sample of external spiral galaxies, via the multiphase multizone evolution model.

The Galactic Bulge: A Review [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2007
The Milky Way is the only galaxy for which we can resolve individual stars at all evolutionary phases, from the Galactic center to the outskirt. The last decade, thanks to the advent of near IR detectors and 8 meter class telescopes, has seen a great ...

The Far Side of the Galactic Bar/Bulge Revealed through Semi-regular Variables

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
The Galactic bulge is critical to our understanding of the Milky Way. However, due to the lack of reliable stellar distances, the structure and kinematics of the bulge/bar beyond the Galactic center have remained largely unexplored.

GALACTIC BULGES

open access: yesAnnual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 1997
▪ Abstract  We discuss the present observational and theoretical understanding of the stellar populations of bulges and their implications for galaxy formation and evolution. The place of bulges as key to the Hubble Sequence remains secure, but some old paradigms are giving way to new ones as observations develop. Detailed studies of Local Group bulges

Blanco DECam Bulge Survey (BDBS). VI. Extinction Maps Toward Southern Galactic Bulge Globular Clusters

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present wide-field, high resolution maps of the color excess for 14 globular clusters toward the Southern Galactic bulge. The maps were derived using Gaia EDR3 astrometry and stellar photometry from the Blanco DECam Bulge Survey, which is a deep, wide-

Maximum Entropy Estimation of the Galactic Bulge Morphology via the VVV Red Clump [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The abundance and narrow magnitude dispersion of Red Clump (RC) stars make them a popular candidate for mapping the morphology of the bulge region of the Milky Way.

Tracking millisecond pulsars responsible for the Fermi GeV excess [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2023
More than 10 years ago, an excess of γ-ray photons coming from the Galactic center was discovered in the Fermi-LAT data. First attributed to dark matter, it has since been shown that it should have at least a partial stellar origin. One hypothesis is the

Proper motions for HST observations in three off-axis bulge fields [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Aims. This is the second in a series of papers that attempt to unveil the kinematic structure of the Galactic bulge through studying radial velocities and proper motions.
