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…
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…
The globular cluster VVV CL002 falling down to the hazardous Galactic centre
D. Minniti, N. Matsunaga, J. G. Fernandez-Trincado +15
Context. The Galactic centre is hazardous for stellar clusters because of the strong tidal force. Supposedly, many clusters were destroyed and contributed stars to the crowded stel…
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…
VVV Survey Observations of a Microlensing Stellar Mass Black Hole Candidate in the Field of the Globular Cluster NGC 6553
D. Minniti, R. Contreras Ramos, J. Alonso-Garcia +7
We report the discovery of a large timescale candidate microlensing event of a bulge stellar source based on near-infrared observations with the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea S…
Stellar Variability in the VVV survey
M. Catelan, D. Minniti, P. W. Lucas +34
The Vista Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) ESO Public Survey is an ongoing time-series, near-infrared (IR) survey of the Galactic bulge and an adjacent portion of the inner disk,…
