Scientific paper

The infrared surface brightness of the central bulge of the Galaxy is plotted in isophotes on the basis of balloon-borne observations at 2.4 microns of the celestial region from 35 to -7 deg longitude and from +15 to -15 deg latitude. It is shown that the 2.4-micron radiation consists of a disk component and a bulge component, that the surface brightness and width of the galactic plane are nearly constant at longitudes between 10 and 30 deg, and that the bulge component is almost symmetrical with respect to the galactic center. A hump observed at 355.5 deg longitude, -0.5 deg latitude is considered to be an extended source.
