Abstract

The planned astrometric space mission JASMINE will provide the exact positions, distances, and proper motions of the bulge stars. These data will certainly reveal the origin and evolution of the Galactic bulge. In fact, the formation process of the bulge is still veiled. It is generally believed that the Galactic bulge possesses a simple old population. On the other hand, the Galactic bulge has a bar with some kinematic implications for a secular evolution. Here we review some evidences for the recent star formation in the Galactic bulge, that will be verified by JASMINE.
