A Newly Discovered VVVX Star Cluster Surfing the Galactic Disk

Elisa R. Garro, José G. Fernández-Trincado, Casmir O. Obasi +15

We report the discovery of Garro 04, a previously unidentified stellar cluster toward the Galactic disc, uncovered as part of the ESO/KMOS VVVX-GalCen Spectroscopic Survey. This ob…

Consensus based Algorithm for Nonparametric Detection of Star Clusters (CANDiSC)

C O Obasi, J G Fernandez Trincado, M Gomez +14

Context: The VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) and its extension (VVVX) are near-infrared surveys mapping the Galactic bulge and adjacent disk. These data have enabled the di…

The globular cluster system of the nearest Seyfert II galaxy Circinus

C. Obasi, M. Gómez, D. Minniti +7

Context. The globular cluster (GC) system of Circinus galaxy has not been probed previously partly because of the location of the galaxy at - 3.8 Galactic latitude which su…

VVV WIN 17333349: a low extinction window to probe the far side of the Milky Way bulge

Roberto K. Saito, Dante Minniti, Robert A. Benjamin +5

Windows of low extinction in the Milky Way (MW) have been used along the past decades for the study of the Galactic structure and the stellar population across the inner bulge and…

Variability and stellar populations with deep optical-IR images of the Milky Way disk: matching VVV with VLT/VIMOS data

P. Pietrukowicz, D. Minniti, J. Alonso-Garcia +1

We have used deep V-band and JHKs-band observations to investigate variability and stellar populations near the Galactic plane in Centaurus, and compared the observations with the…

New Galactic Star Clusters Discovered in the VVV Survey

Jura Borissova, Charles Bonatto, Radostin Kurtev +27

VISTA Variables in the V\'ıa Láctea (VVV) is one of the six ESO Public Surveys operating on the new 4-meter Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). VVV is scan…
