Descripción
We propose to use EMIR to obtain near IR spectroscopy of many thousands Galaxy sources, mainly located in the inner regions. These will be selected from their position on IR colour-magnitude (CM) diagrams and will include disc, bar bulge and ring sources. The principal aim is to accurately classify the sources to provide a better understanding of, particularly, the redder parts of a infrared CM diagram. Without this information there will remain ambiguities in the interpretation of structures in the inner Galaxy.
