Descripción
A model of the galactic stellar distribution has been developed and the
surface stellar densities in the near infrared are compared with
observations along the galactic plane between l = 0° and l =
10°. The model, based on data taken from the literature, is in
reasonable agreement with the observational results. However, the mass
distribution obtained from the star counts is much lower than derived by
other methods. As a result, the authors have also obtained the expected
integrated brightness at 2.2 μm close to the galactic centre. The
results are in very good agreement with the experimental data.
