Signatures of bulge triaxiality from kinematics in Baade's window
Signatures of bulge triaxiality from kinematics in Baade's window
We study a sample of 62 Baade's Window (1,-4) K giants that have published proper motions, radial velocity and metallicity. We construct the velocity ellipsoids for the metal rich stars and metal poor stars. We find a vertex deviation characteristic of a non-axisymmetric system. The long axes of the velocity …
