The long Galactic bar as seen by UKIDSS Galactic Plane Survey
A. Cabrera-Lavers, C. Gonzalez-Fernandez, F. Garzon +2
Over the last decade there have been a series of results supporting the hypothesis of the existence of a long thin bar in the Milky Way with a half-length of 4.5 kpc and a position…
Metallicity distribution of red giants in the Inner Galaxy from Near Infrared spectra
C. González-Fernández, A. Cabrera-Lavers, P. L. Hammersley +1
In this paper, we present low resolution (R=500) near-infrared spectra for selected and serendipitous sources in six inner in-plane Galactic fields, with the aim of analysing the s…
Tracing the long bar with red-clump giants
A. Cabrera-Lavers, P. L. Hammersley, C. Gonzalez-Fernandez +3
Over the last decade a series of results have lent support to the hypothesis of the existence of a long thin bar in the Milky Way with a half-length of 4.5 kpc and a position angle…
The Long Bar in the Milky Way. Corroboration of an old hypothesis
M. Lopez-Corredoira, A. Cabrera-Lavers, T. J. Mahoney +3
Recent GLIMPSE data have further confirmed the hypothesis of the existence of an in-plane long bar different from the bulge of the Milky Way with the same characteristics as emphas…
Spectral Irradiance Calibration in the Infrared. XIII. "Supertemplates" and On-Orbit Calibrators for SIRTF's Infrared Array Camera (IRAC)
Martin Cohen, S. T. Megeath, Peter L. Hammersley +2
We describe the technique used to develop on-orbit calibrators for IRAC and validate the method for either K0-M0III or A0-A5V stars. For SIRTF, the approach uses all available opti…
Old stellar Galactic disc in near-plane regions according to 2MASS: scales, cut-off, flare and warp
M. Lopez-Corredoira, A. Cabrera-Lavers, F. Garzon +1
We have pursued two different methods to analyze the old stellar population near the Galactic plane, using data from the 2MASS survey. The first method is based on the isolation of…
