Unveiling VVV/WISE Mira variables on the far side of the Galactic disk: Distances, kinematics and a new extinction law
Rogelio Albarracín, M. Zoccali, J. Olivares Carvajal +8
The structure and kinematics of the Milky Way disk are largely inferred from the solar vicinity. To gain a comprehensive understanding, it is essential to find reliable tracers in…
Unveiling the structural content of NGC 6357 via kinematics and NIR variability
C. Ordenes-Huanca, M. Zoccali, A. Bayo +3
NGC 6357, a star-forming complex at kpc from the Sun, contains giant molecular clouds and three prominent star clusters alongside with HII regions, very massive stars an…
VVV catalog of ab-type RR Lyrae in the inner Galactic bulge
M. Zoccali, C. Quezada, R. Contreras Ramos +7
Context. Observational evidence has accumulated in the past years, showing that the Galactic bulge includes two populations, a metal poor and a metal rich one that, in addition to…
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…
Comparing bulge RR Lyrae stars with bulge giants -- Insight from 3D kinematics
J. Olivares Carvajal, M. Zoccali, M. De Leo +6
The structure and kinematics of the old component of the Galactic bulge are still a matter of debate. The bulk of the bulge as traced by red clump stars includes two main component…
Observed kinematics of the Milky Way nuclear stellar disk region
M. Zoccali, A. Rojas-Arriagada, E. Valenti +3
The nuclear region of the Milky Way is believed to host a nuclear stellar disk, co-spatial with the gaseous central molecular zone. Previous kinematical studies detected faster rot…
