Scientific paper

A deep near-infrared survey of the inner galactic bulge has been made with the Cambridge Infrared Survey Instrument (CIRSI). The primary aim of this project is the study of the expected asymmetry caused by the galactic bar. Using red clump stars as distance indicators, the structure of the bar and the dust distribution are constrained, and the presence of a second structure, a double bar or a inner ring is suggested.
