Scientific paper
We summarize recent work on the structure and dynamics of the Galactic bar
and inner disk. Current work focusses on constructing a quantitative model
which integrates NIR photometry, source count observations, gas kinematics,
stellar dynamical observations, and microlensing. Some avenues for future
research are discussed.
