Abstract
AbstractWe report the progress in our measurement of the 3-D kinematics in several low foreground extinction windows of the Galactic Bulge. In order to complete the 3-D kinematics of as many stars as possible, proper motions and radial velocities have been obtained using HST WFPC2-ACS and VLT VIMOS respectively. Our preliminary results for fields close to the galactic minor axis show a significant vertex deviation, which can be directly related to a signature of triaxility. This is one of the strongest proofs to date of the presence of the stellar bar in the galactic bulge.
