Galaxy Structure
... In the last few years, independent evidence points to the existence of a bar in the inner Galaxy. This evidence results from NIR photometry (Blitz and Spergel 1991; Weiland et al 1994; Dwek et al 1995), from IRAS source counts (Nakada et al 1991; Whitelock and Catchpole 1992; Nikolaev and Weinberg 1 ...
