Scientific paper

As most spiral galaxies, the Milky Way harbours a rotating central bar. Its overall morphology is hard to unveil due to our location within the Galactic plane, but at the same time, due to our proximity, it can be studied in greater details than any other bar in external galaxies. Here I outline the main observational evidence for the Galactic bar, and present an overview of our current knowledge about its structure and dynamics, and about its impact on the gas and stellar kinematics.
