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…
FSR 1716: A new Milky Way Globular Cluster confirmed using VVV RR Lyrae stars
Dante Minniti, Tali Palma, Istvan Dékány +35
We use deep multi-epoch near-IR images of the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) Survey to search for RR Lyrae stars towards the Southern Galactic plane. Here we report the di…
Chemical Composition of Young Stars in the Leading Arm of the Magellanic System
Lan Zhang, Christian Moni Bidin, Dana I. Casetti-Dinescu +6
Chemical abundances of eight O- and B-type stars are determined from high-resolution spectra obtained with the MIKE instrument on the Magellan 6.5m Clay telescope. The sample is se…
Near-Infrared Photometry of Globular Clusters Towards the Galactic Bulge: Observations and Photometric Metallicity Indicators
Roger E. Cohen, Christian Moni Bidin, Francesco Mauro +2
We present wide field JHKs photometry of 16 Galactic globular clusters located towards the Galactic bulge, calibrated on the 2MASS photometric system. Differential reddening correc…
Milky Way Demographics with the VVV Survey II. Color Transformations and Near-Infrared Photometry for 136 Million Stars in the Southern Galactic Disk
M. Soto, R. Barba, G. Gunthardt +18
The new multi-epoch near-infrared VVV survey (VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea) is sampling 562 sq. deg of the Galactic bulge and adjacent regions of the disk. Accurate astrometry…
New Evidence Supporting Membership for TW Nor in Lynga 6 and the Centaurus Spiral Arm
Daniel J. Majaess, David G. Turner, Christian Moni Bidin +10
The putative association between the 10.8 d classical Cepheid TW Nor and the open cluster Lynga 6 has generated considerable debate in the literature. New JHKs photometry in tandem…
