Abstract:
Inner 300 pc of the Galactic Center region is surveyed with the SIR-IUS camera mounted on the InfraRed Survey Facility (IRSF) telescope of the SAAO, during June-July 2002, resulting in the deepest near infrared view of the Milky Way Nuclear Bulge Region. Here we present first results from this survey underlining the capabilities of the SIRIUS camera and the photometric procedures adopted in this work involving highly crowded star fields.
