| Abstract: | The central bulge of the Milky Way has been studied since the 1940s, yet continues to attract new observations and spawn controversy. I will address a brief history of the subject, discuss a new class of iron-complex bulge globular clusters, the composition of the field stars, and address the as yet unresolved controversy concerning the age of the bulge. I will also present new results on the dynamics of SiO masers in the bulge, from the Bulge Asymmetries and Dynamical Evolution project, and also discuss a new LSST pathfinder survey of the bulge. | |
