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…
Analysis of Red-Supergiants in VdBH 222
Randa Asa'd, M. Kovalev, B. Davies +6
Recent surveys uncovered new Young Massive Clusters (YMCs) that host dozens of Red Supergiants (RSGs) in the inner Milky Way. These clusters are ideal for studying the most recent…
Discovery of a mid-infrared protostellar outburst of exceptional amplitude
P. W. Lucas, J. Elias, S. Points +12
We report the discovery of a mid-infrared outburst in a Young Stellar Object (YSO) with an amplitude close to 8 mag at 4.6 m. WISEA J142238.82-611553.7 is one of 23…
VVV-WIT-01: highly obscured classical nova or protostellar collision?
P. W. Lucas, D. Minniti, A. Kamble +18
A search of the first Data Release of the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) Survey discovered the exceptionally red transient VVV-WIT-01 (). It peaked before March…
Once in a blue moon: detection of 'bluing' during debris transits in the white dwarf WD1145+017
N. Hallakoun, S. Xu, D. Maoz +16
The first transiting planetesimal orbiting a white dwarf was recently detected in K2 data of WD1145+017 and has been followed up intensively. The multiple, long, and variable trans…
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…
