Studying the Galactic Bulge Through Spectroscopy of Microlensed Sources: II. Observations
The spectroscopy of microlensed sources towards the Galactic bulge provides a unique opportunity to study (i) the kinematics of the Galactic bulge, particularly its far-side, (ii) the effects of extinction on the microlensed sources, and (iii) the contributions of the bulge and the disk lenses to the microlensing optical depth. We present the results from such a spectroscopic study of 17 microl...
متن کاملStudying the Galactic Bulge Through Spectroscopy of Microlensed Sources: I. Theoretical Considerations
The observed spectra of the microlensed sources towards the Galactic bulge may be used as a tool for studying the kinematics and extinction effects in the Galactic bulge. In this paper, we first investigate the expected distribution of the microlensed sources as a function of depth within the Galactic bulge. Our analysis takes a magnitude limited microlensing survey into account, and includes t...
متن کاملObservations of planetary nebulae in the Galactic Bulge
High quality spectrophotometric observations of 30 Planetary Nebulae in the Galactic Bulge have been made. Accurate reddenings, plasma parameters, and abundances of He, O, N, S, Ar, Cl are derived. We find the abundances of O, S, Ar in the Planetary Nebulae in the Galactic Bulge to be comparable with the abundances of the Planetary Nebulae in the Disk, high abundances being maybe slightly more ...
متن کاملGemini spectroscopy of Galactic Bulge Sources: a population of hidden accreting binaries revealed?
We present Gemini spectroscopy for 21 candidate optical counterparts to X-ray sources discovered in the Galactic Bulge Survey (GBS). For the majority of the 21 sources, the optical spectroscopy establishes that they are indeed the likely counterparts. One of the criteria we used for the identification was the presence of an Hα emission line. The spectra of several sources revealed an Hα emissio...
متن کاملThe Outer Regions of the Galactic Bulge : II { AnalysisRodrigo
Velocity, chemical abundance and spatial distribution data for some 1500 K-and M-giants in the Galactic Bulge, which are presented in an accompanying paper (Ibata & Gilmore 1995), are analysed. We provide three levels of analysis: an almost model-independent determination of basic symmetry properties of the galactic bulge; a more detailed analysis based on conservative assumptions, which invest...
