The Habitability of the Galactic Bulge [PDF]
Life, 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 ...

RR Lyrae Variables as Tracers of the Galactic Bulge Kinematic Structure
Universe, 2022 RR Lyrae stars are recognized as some of the oldest stars in the Universe. In addition, they are some of the few old celestial objects for which distances can be reliably inferred.

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

The 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-

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

The chemical evolution of the Galactic Bulge seen through micro-lensing events
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 Galactic bulges are central to understanding galaxy formation and evolution. Here we report on recent studies using micro-lensing events to obtain spectra of high resolution and moderately high signal-to-noise ratios of dwarf stars in the Galactic bulge.

Thick disk and pseudobulge formation in a clump cluster
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 Bulges in spiral galaxies have been supposed to be classified into two types: classical bulges or pseudobulges. Classical bulges are thought to form by galactic merger with bursty star formation, whereas pseudobulges are suggested to form by secular ...

X-ray Insight into High-Energy Processes in Extreme Galactic Nuclear Environment
Universe, 2022 Nuclear regions of galaxies apparently play a disproportionately large role in regulating their formation and evolution. How this regulation works, however, remains very uncertain.

Prediction of Planet Yields by the PRime-focus Infrared Microlensing Experiment Microlensing Survey
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 The PRime-focus Infrared Microlensing Experiment (PRIME) will be the first to conduct a dedicated near-infrared microlensing survey by using a 1.8 m telescope with a wide field of view of 1.45 deg ^2 at the South African Astronomical Observatory.

Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. Although many globular clusters (GCs) have been identified in the Galaxy, their population is estimated to be incomplete, especially in regions with significant crowding and/or interstellar extinction, such as the Galactic bulge and plane.
