Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, 2016 AbstractThe Galactic bulge is the least studied component of our Galaxy. Yet, its formation and evolution are key to understand the formation of the Galaxy itself. Studies on the Galactic bulge have increased significantly in the last years, but still there are many points of controversy.

Globular Clusters in the Galactic Bulge [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, 2016 AbstractA view of the Galactic bulge by means of their globular clusters is fundamental for a deep understanding of its formation and evolution. Connections between the globular cluster and field star properties in terms of kinematics, orbits, chemical abundances, and ages should shed light on different stellar population components.

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.

Galactic Bulge Pixel‐lensing Events [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2001 Gould & DePoy proposed a pixel lensing survey towards the Galactic bulge using a small aperture (~65 mm) camera with a large pixel size (10") detector and deliberately degraded optics achieving 30" PSF. In this paper, we estimate the event rate of this pixel lensing survey expected under various detection criteria, which are characterized by the ...

The Complex Structure of the Bulge of M31
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 The bulge of M31 is of interest regarding the nature of galactic bulges and how their structure relates to bulge formation mechanisms and their subsequent evolution.

Simple Models of Galactic Bulges [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1993 We present a simple axisymmetric model with an elementary distribution function capable of representing galactic bulges. The gravity field of the galaxy is based on the axisymmetric logarithmic potential, which has a flat rotation curve. Bulges are built as isothermal distributions of stars embedded within the potential.

Hot Subdwarfs in the Galactic Bulge [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2005 Recent observations and theories suggest that extreme horizontal branch (EHB) stars and their progeny should be the cause of the UV excess seen in the spectra of many elliptical galaxies. Since the Galactic Bulge is the closest representation of an old, metal-rich spheroid in which we are able to study the EHB scenario in detail, we obtained spectra of

Parameters of Six Selected Galactic Potential Models
Open Astronomy, 2017 This paper is devoted to the refinement of the parameters of the six three-component (bulge, disk, halo) axisymmetric Galactic gravitational potential models on the basis of modern data on circular velocities of Galactic objects located at distances up ...

Chemical Abundances in Galactic Bulge Pn [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1993 We present abundance determinations, in particular of carbon, and C/O ratios, for 11 Galactic bulge planetary nebulae (PN) based on our low resolution UV data from IUE observations and optical spectrophotometry from the Anglo-Australian Telescope. We compare the observed abundances with those predicted by dredge-up theory for the high metallicity ...
