Variable stars in the VVV globular clusters. I. 2MASS-GC02 and Terzan10

Javier Alonso-García, István Dékány, Márcio Catelan +5

The VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) ESO Public Survey is opening a new window to study the inner Galactic globular clusters using their variable stars. These globular clust…

Surface photometry of WINGS galaxies with GASPHOT

Mauro D'Onofrio, Daniele Bindoni, Gianni Fasano +11

Aims. We present the B-, V- and K-band surface photometry catalogs obtained running the automatic software GASPHOT on galaxies from the WINGS cluster survey having isophotal area l…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: the most metal-poor stars in the Galactic bulge

L. Howes, M. Asplund, A. R. Casey +39

We present the first results of the EMBLA survey (Extremely Metal-poor BuLge stars with AAOmega), aimed at finding metal-poor stars in the Milky Way bulge, where the oldest stars s…

Milky Way demographics with the VVV Survey III. Evidence for a Great Dark Lane in the 157 Million Star Bulge Color-Magnitude Diagram

D. Minniti, R. K. Saito, O. A. Gonzalez +10

The new generation of IR surveys are revealing and quantifying Galactic features, providing an improved 3-D interpretation of our own Galaxy. We present an analysis of the global d…

M dwarfs in the b201 tile of the VVV survey: Colour-based Selection, Spectral Types and Light Curves

Bárbara Rojas-Ayala, Daniela Iglesias, Dante Minniti +2

The intrinsically faint M dwarfs are the most numerous stars in the Galaxy, have main-sequence lifetimes longer than the Hubble time, and host some of the most interesting planetar…

The Gaia-ESO Survey: metallicity and kinematic trends in the Milky Way bulge

A. Rojas-Arriagada, A. Recio-Blanco, V. Hill +30

(Abridged) We analyzed the stellar parameters and radial velocities of ~1200 stars in five bulge fields as determined from the Gaia-ESO survey data (iDR1). We use VISTA Variables i…
