Abstract

The GLIMPSE (Galactic Legacy Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire) Point Source Catalog of ~30 million mid-infrared sources toward the inner Galaxy, 10° ≤ | l | ≤ 65° and | b | ≤ 1°, was used to determine the distribution of stars in Galactic longitude, l , latitude, b , and apparent magnitude, m . The c...
