CONT

[...] la distribution des étoiles dans la Galaxie témoigne de deux tendances bien nettes : 1. forte concentration vers le plan galactique; 2. concentration vers le centre de la Galaxie. Cette dernière tendance se renforce à l'approche de la partie centrale appelée souvent «condensation galactique centrale» et parfois noyau.

CONT

On les appelle parfois noyaux galactiques. C'est une région très importante et relativement peu étudiée encore, dont la part de la masse galactique est faible et qui est constituée d'étoiles analogues à celles de la composante sphérique de la Galaxie.
