Unresolved triples in the open cluster NGC 2437 (M 46) confirmed by the KMOS VVVX-GalCen Spectroscopic Survey

D. Minniti, T. Palma, C. O. Obasi +31

Recent optical and near-IR photometric databases like Gaia data release 3 (DR3) and the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea eXtended (VVVX) ESO public survey allow the exploration of…

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…

The deepest color-magnitude diagrams for the benchmark open cluster NGC 2437 from Gaia and VVVX

Tali Palma, Matías Gómez, Dante Minniti +8

Deep photometry of Galactic star clusters provides one of the most powerful tools for determining their physical properties. In particular, in low Galactic latitude regions that su…

The VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea eXtended (VVVX) ESO public survey: Completion of the observations and legacy

R. K. Saito, M. Hempel, J. Alonso-García +143

The ESO public survey VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) surveyed the inner Galactic bulge and the adjacent southern Galactic disk from . Upon its conclusion, the c…

The globular cluster system of the nearest Seyfert II galaxy Circinus

C. Obasi, M. Gómez, D. Minniti +7

Context. The globular cluster (GC) system of Circinus galaxy has not been probed previously partly because of the location of the galaxy at - 3.8 Galactic latitude which su…

Unveiling the nature of 12 new low-luminosity Galactic Globular Cluster Candidates

E. R. Garro, D. Minniti, B. Alessi +10

The Galactic globular cluster system is incomplete, especially in the low latitude regions of the Galactic bulge and disk. We report the physical characterization of twelve star cl…
