Resumen
The first year of observations of the Galactic bulge in the Vista Variables in the Via lacteal (VVV) ESO Public Survey, with the VISTA telescope, have yielded a deep, near-infrared, multi-colour (Z,Y,J,H,Ks) photometric coverage of over 320 square degrees. Results based on this impressive dataset are presented, showing the global properties of the bulge in order to investigate its place in the general context of galaxy bulges.
