Microlensing Optical Depth of the COBE Bulge
We examine the left-right asymmetry in the cleaned COBE/DIRBE near-infrared data of the inner Galaxy and show (i) that the Galactic bar is probably not seen very nearly end-on, and (ii) that even if it is, it is not highly elongated. The assumption of constant mass-to-light ratio is used to derive s...
