High proper motion objects towards the inner Milky Way: characterisation of newly identified nearby stars from the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea Survey

M. Gromadzki, R. Kurtev, J. C. Beamin +10

The census of the Solar neighbourhood is still incomplete, as demonstrated by recent discoveries of many objects within 5-10 pc from the Sun. The area around the mid-plane and bulg…

Identifying the ejected population from disintegrating multiple systems

A. K. P. Yip, D. J. Pinfield, R. Kurtev +2

Kinematic studies of the Hipparcos catalogue have revealed associations that are best explained as disintegrating multiple systems, presumably resulting from a dynamical encounter…

Variable Stars in the Quintuplet stellar cluster with the VVV Survey

C. Navarro Molina, J. Borissova, M. Catelan +7

The Quintuplet cluster is one of the most massive star clusters in the Milky Way, situated very close to the Galactic center. We present a new search for variable stars in the vici…

Near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy of the low Galactic latitude globular cluster 2MASS-GC03

Julio A. Carballo-Bello, S. Ramirez Alegria, J. Borissova +12

We present deep near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy of the globular cluster 2MASS-GC03 projected in the Galactic disk using MMIRS on the Clay telescope (Las Campanas Observat…

Discovery of a Long-Lived, High Amplitude Dusty Infrared Transient

C. T. Britt, T. J. Maccarone, J. D. Green +15

We report the detection of an infrared selected transient which has lasted at least 5 years, first identified by a large mid-infrared and optical outburst from a faint X-ray source…

Structural studies of eight bright rimmed clouds in the southern hemisphere

Saurabh Sharma, A. K. Pandey, J. Borissova +7

We carried out deep and wide-field near- and mid-infrared observations for a sample of 8 bright-rimmed clouds (BRCs). Supplemented with the archival data, we have identif…
