VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV): Halfway Status and Results
Maren Hempel, Dante Minniti, István Dékány +89
The VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) survey is one of six public ESO surveys, and is now in its 4th year of observing. Although far from being complete, the VVV survey has a…
CXOGBS~J173620.2--293338: A Candidate Symbiotic X-ray Binary Associated with a Bulge Carbon Star
R. I. Hynes, M. A. P. Torres, C. O. Heinke +10
The Galactic Bulge Survey is a wide but shallow X-ray survey of regions above and below the Plane in the Galactic Bulge. It was performed using the Chandra X-ray Observatory's ACIS…
Three New Galactic Center X-ray Sources Identified with Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
Curtis DeWitt, Reba M. Bandyopadhyay, Stephen S. Eikenberry +5
We have conducted a near-infrared spectroscopic survey of 47 candidate counterparts to X-ray sources discovered by the Chandra X-ray Observatory near the Galactic Center (GC). Thou…
VVV DR1: The First Data Release of the Milky Way Bulge and Southern Plane from the Near-Infrared ESO Public Survey VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea
R. K. Saito, M. Hempel, D. Minniti +107
The ESO Public Survey VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) started in 2010. VVV targets 562 sq. deg in the Galactic bulge and an adjacent plane region and is expected to run for…
Near-infrared counterparts of Chandra X-ray sources toward the Galactic Center
Curtis DeWitt, Reba M. Bandyopadhyay, Stephen S. Eikenberry +4
The Chandra X-ray Observatory has now discovered nearly 10,000 X-ray point sources in the 2 x 0.8 degree region around the Galactic Center (Muno 2009). The sources are likely to be…
VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV): The public ESO near-IR variability survey of the Milky Way
D. Minniti, P. W. Lucas, J. P. Emerson +63
We describe the public ESO near-IR variability survey (VVV) scanning the Milky Way bulge and an adjacent section of the mid-plane where star formation activity is high. The survey…
