TCS-CAIN: NIR survey of the Galactic plane
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 December 2006
Abstract
We present TCS-CAIN, a NIR survey of the Galactic plane, recently made public at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, and some results derived from it: with star counts derived directly from it the structure of the inner the Milky Way can be dissected, and with low resolution spectra, (part of a follow-up program), its nature, specifically the metallicity distribution in the inner 4 kpc of the Galaxy, further understood.
