A Dust Lane Leading the Galactic Bar at Negative Galactic Longitudes
Comparing the different wavelengths of the DIRBE integrated surface brightness maps at positive and negative Galactic longitudes on the plane near the Galactic center, it is shown that there exists a thick dust lane (between 1.0 and 2.6 mag of absorption in K) at negative longitudes (as compared to positive ones), which follows the "standard"
