Two Red Clumps and the X-shaped Milky Way Bulge
From 2MASS infra-red photometry we find two red clump (RC) populations co-existing in the same fields toward the Galactic bulge at latitudes |b|>5.5 deg., ranging over ~13 degrees in longitude and 20 degrees in latitude. We can only understand the data if
