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…
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…
