A multi-frequency, multi-epoch radio continuum study of the Quintuplet cluster with the Very Large Array
M. Cano-González, R. Schödel, A. Alberdi +4
The Quintuplet cluster, located in the Galactic centre, is one of the few young massive clusters in the Milky Way. It allows us to study dozens of massive, post main sequence stars…
A multi-frequency, multi-epoch radio continuum study of the Arches cluster with the VLA
M. Cano-González, R. Schödel, A. Alberdi +4
The Arches cluster, one of the most massive clusters in the Milky Way, is located about 30 pc in projection from the central massive black hole. With its high mass, young age, and…
The formation history of our Galaxy's nuclear stellar disc constrained from HST observations of the Quintuplet field
R. Schoedel, F. Nogueras-Lara, M. Hosek +9
Until recently it was thought that the nuclear stellar disc at the centre of our Galaxy was formed via quasi-continuous star formation over billions of years. However, an analysis…
A proper motion catalogue for the Milky Way's nuclear stellar disc
B. Shahzamanian, R. Schoedel, F. Nogueras-Lara +5
We present the results of a large-scale proper motion study of the central ~36'x16' of the Milky Way, based on our high angular resolution GALACTICNUCLEUS survey (epoch 2015) combi…
Radio observations of massive stars in the Galactic centre: The Quintuplet cluster
A. T. Gallego-Calvente, R. Schoedel, A. Alberdi +4
We present high-angular-resolution radio continuum observations of the Quintuplet cluster, one of the most emblematic massive clusters in the Galactic centre. Data were acquired in…
Radio observations of massive stars in the Galactic centre: The Arches Cluster
A. T. Gallego-Calvente, R. Schoedel, A. Alberdi +8
We present high-angular-resolution radio observations of the Arches cluster in the Galactic centre, one of the most massive young clusters in the Milky Way. The data were acquired…
The Milky Way's nuclear star cluster: Old, metal-rich, and cuspy
R. Schödel, F. Nogueras-Lara, E. Gallego-Cano +3
(abridged) We provide Ks photometry for roughly 39,000 stars and H-band photometry for about 11,000 stars within a field of about 40"x40", centred on Sgr A*. In addition, we provid…
GALACTICNUCLEUS: A high-angular-resolution JHKs imaging survey of the Galactic centre III. Evidence for wavelength dependence of the extinction curve in the near-infrared
Francisco Nogueras-Lara, Rainer Schödel, Nadine Neumayer +4
The characterisation of the extinction curve in the near infrared (NIR) is fundamental to analyse the structure and stellar population of the Galactic centre (GC), whose analysis i…
New constraints on the structure of the nuclear stellar cluster of the Milky Way from star counts and MIR imaging
E. Gallego-Cano, R. Schödel, F. Nogueras-Lara +5
The Milky Way nuclear star cluster (MWNSC) is a crucial laboratory for studying the galactic nuclei of other galaxies, but its properties have not been determined unambiguously unt…
First results from a large-scale proper motion study of the Galactic Centre
B. Shahzamanian, R. Schödel, F. Nogueras-Lara +4
Proper motion studies of stars in the centre of the Milky Way have been typically limited to the Arches and Quintuplet clusters and to the central parsec. Here, we present the firs…
Early formation and recent starburst activity in the nuclear disc of the Milky Way
F. Nogueras-Lara, R. Schödel, A. T. Gallego-Calvente +10
The nuclear disc is a dense stellar structure at the centre of the Milky Way, with a radius of 150 pc. It has been a place of intense star formation in the past several tens…
Variability of the near-infrared extinction curve towards the Galactic centre
Francisco Nogueras-Lara, Rainer Schödel, Francisco Najarro +4
Due to the extreme extinction towards the Galactic centre ( mag), its stellar population is mainly studied in the near-infrared (NIR) regime. Therefore, a proper ana…
GALACTICNUCLEUS: A high-angular-resolution JHKs imaging survey of the Galactic centre II. First data release of the catalogue and the most detailed CMDs of the GC
Francisco Nogueras-Lara, Rainer Schödel, Aurelia Teresa Gallego-Calvente +7
The high extinction and extreme source crowding of the central regions of the Milky Way are serious obstacles to the study of the structure and stellar population of the Galactic c…
Star formation history and metallicity in the Galactic inner bulge revealed by the red giant branch bump
F. Nogueras-Lara, R. Schödel, H. Dong +10
The study of the inner region of the Milky Way's bulge is hampered by high interstellar extinction and extreme source crowding. Sensitive high angular resolution near-infrared imag…
GALACTICNUCLEUS: A high angular resolution imaging survey of the Galactic Centre. I. Methodology, performance, and near-infrared extinction towards the Galactic Centre
F. Nogueras-Lara, A. T. Gallego-Calvente, H. Dong +8
The Galactic Centre is of fundamental astrophysical interest, but existing near-infrared surveys fall short to cover it adequately. We introduce the GALACTICNUCLEUS survey, a $JHK_…
The distribution of stars around the Milky Way's central black hole II: Diffuse light from sub-giants and dwarfs
R. Schödel, E. Gallego-Cano, H. Dong +4
This is the second of three papers that search for the predicted stellar cusp around the Milky Way's central black hole, Sagittarius A*, with new data and methods. We aim to infer…
The distribution of old stars around the Milky Way's central black hole I: Star counts
E. Gallego-Cano, R. Schödel, H. Dong +4
(abridged) In this paper we revisit the problem of inferring the innermost structure of the Milky Way's nuclear star cluster via star counts, to clarify whether it displays a core…
