Description
We calibrated the absolute magnitudes M V , M J
, M_{Ks} and M g of red clump stars in
terms of colours. M V and M g are strongly
dependent on colour, while the dependence of M J and
M_{Ks} on colour is rather weak. The calibration of the
absolute magnitudes M V and M_{Ks} is tested on
101 RC stars in the field SA 141. The Galactic model parameters
estimated with this sample are in good agreement with earlier studies.

Morphology and dynamics of the Milky Way
This project consists of two parts, each differentiated but both complementary: morphology and dynamics. Detailed study of the morphology of the Milky Way pretends to provide a data base for the stellar distribution in the most remote and heavily obscured regions of our Galaxy, through the development of semiempirical models based on the
