An Intriguing Globular Cluster in the Galactic Bulge from the VVV Survey
D. Minniti, T. Palma, D. Camargo +7
Recent near-IR Surveys have discovered a number of new bulge globular cluster (GC) candidates that need to be further investigated. Our main objective is to use public data from th…
Discovery of new globular clusters in the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy
D. Minniti, V. Ripepi, J. G. Fernández-Trincado +14
Context. Globular clusters (GCs) are witnesses of the past accretion events onto the Milky Way (MW). In particular, the GCs of the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf galaxy are important prob…
VVVX-Gaia Discovery of a Low Luminosity Globular Cluster in the Milky Way Disk
E. R. Garro, D. Minniti, M. Gómez +20
Milky Way globular clusters (MW GCs) are difficult to identify at low Galactic latitudes because of high differential extinction and heavy star crowding. The new deep near-IR image…
Microlensing events in the Galactic bulge
Maria Gabriela Navarro, Dante Minniti, Roberto Capuzzo-Dolcetta +2
For the first time we detected microlensing events at zero latitude in the Galactic bulge using the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea Survey (VVV) data. We have discovered a total…
Analysis of the physical nature of 22 New VVV Survey Globular Cluster candidates in the Milky Way Bulge
Tali Palma, Dante Minniti, Javier Alonso-García +11
In order to characterize 22 new globular cluster (GC) candidates in the Galactic bulge, we present their colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) and Ks-band luminosity functions (LFs) usi…
VVV Survey Microlensing: the Galactic Longitude Dependence
María Gabriela Navarro, Dante Minniti, Rodrigo Contreras Ramos
We completed the search for microlensing events in the zero latitude area of the Galactic bulge using the VVV Survey near-IR data obtained between 2010 and 2015. We have now a tota…
