2.6. Resolved near-IR survey of the inner Galaxy
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Extract
The analysis of resolved DENIS (Deep Near Infra Red Survey of the Southern Sky) I,J and K band data shows good evidence (≳ 3σ) in the J and K band number counts to support the existence of a kiloparsec-scale bar with its major axis in the first quadrant. A star by star dereddening of this K data combined with supplementary nbL band data (3.6μm) gives number count contrasts consistent with low angle (≲ 20 degrees) bar models in the literature.
