The Metallicity and Reddening of Stars in the Inner Galactic Bulge
The Metallicity and Reddening of Stars in the Inner Galactic Bulge
We present a preliminary analysis of K, J-K color magnitude diagrams (CMDs) for 7 different positions on or close to the minor axis of the Milky Way at Galactic latitudes between +0.1^\circ and -2.8^\circ. From the slopes of the (linear) giant branches in these CMDs we derive a dependence of …
