3-dimensional kinematics in low foreground extinction windows of the Galactic Bulge. Radial velocities for six bulge fields: procedures and results.

SOTO M., KUIJKEN K. and RICH R.M.

Abstract (from CDS):

The detailed structure of the Galactic bulge still remains uncertain. The strong difficulties of obtaining observations of stars in the Galactic bulge have hindered the acquisition of a kinematic representation for the inner kpc of the Milky Way. The observation of the 3-d kinematics in several low foreground extinction windows can solve this problem. We have developed a new technique, which combines precise stellar HST positions and proper motions with integral field spectroscopy, in order to obtain reliable 3-d stellar kinematics in crowded fields of the Galactic center. In addition, we present results using the new techniques for six fields in our project. A significant vertex deviation has been found in some of the fields in agreement with previous determinations. This result confirms the presence of a stellar bar in the Galactic bulge.
