Dynamical modelling of the Milky Way Bar/Bulge

Description

I review the recent progresses on the properties of the Galactic bar and bulge, and the major theoretical models and techniques to understand the Milky Way bulge. Despite these recent advances, a complete bulge formation model that explains the full kinematics and metallicity distribution is still not fully understood. Upcoming large surveys are expected to shed new light on the formation history of the Galactic bar and bulge.
