Unresolved triple systems in the aged open cluster Trumpler 19: Discovery, confirmation, and implications

D. Minniti, R. K. Saito, V. D. Ivanov +31

It is difficult to identify unresolved triple and higher-order systems beyond the solar vicinity. Star clusters yield controlled environments with known physical parameters, provid…

Infrared-excess sources in VVV: candidate debris discs, SED characterization, and variability analysis

P. Esteves, R. K. Saito, C. Chavero +9

Debris disks around main-sequence stars provide important insights into planetary formation and evolution; however, identifying these systems in the Galactic plane, where high inte…

The most variable VVV sources: eruptive protostars, dipping giants in the Nuclear Disc and others

P. W. Lucas, L. C. Smith, Z. Guo +16

We have performed a comprehensive search of a VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) database of 9.5 yr light curves for variable sources with mag, aiming to provide…

Multi-wavelength detection of an ongoing FUOr-type outburst on a low-mass YSO

Zhen Guo, P. W. Lucas, R. G. Kurtev +13

During the pre-main-sequence evolution, Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) assemble most of their mass during the episodic accretion process. The rarely seen FUOr-type events (FUOrs) are…

Spectroscopic confirmation of high-amplitude eruptive YSOs and dipping giants from the VVV survey

Zhen Guo, P. W. Lucas, R. Kurtev +17

During the pre-main-sequence (pre-MS) evolution stage of a star, significant amounts of stellar mass are accreted during episodic accretion events, such as multi-decade FUor-type o…

Small scale star formation as revealed by VVVX galactic cluster candidates

J. Borissova, R. Kurtev, N. Amarinho +8

We report a search and analysis of obscured cluster candidates in the "VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea eXtended (VVVX)" ESO Public Survey area encompassing the region between 229…

Searching for Faint Comoving Companions to the Centauri system in the VVV Survey Infrared Images

J. C. Beamin, D. Minniti, J. B. Pullen +7

The VVV survey has observed the southern disk of the Milky Way in the near infrared, covering 240 deg in the filters. We search the VVV Survey images in a 19…
