Orbital and physical parameters of eclipsing binaries from the All-Sky Automated Survey catalogue - X. Three high-contrast systems with secondaries detected with IR spectroscopy

K. G. Hełminiak, A. Tokovinin, E. Niemczura +13

We present results of the combined photometric and spectroscopic analysis of three detached eclipsing binaries, which secondary components are not visible or very hard to identify…

Orbital and physical parameters of eclipsing binaries from the ASAS catalogue -- IX. Spotted pairs with red giants

M. Ratajczak, K. G. Hełminiak, M. Konacki +8

We present spectroscopic and photometric solutions for three spotted systems with red giant components. Absolute physical and orbital parameters for these double-lined detached ecl…

Stellar Variability in the VVV survey

M. Catelan, D. Minniti, P. W. Lucas +34

The Vista Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) ESO Public Survey is an ongoing time-series, near-infrared (IR) survey of the Galactic bulge and an adjacent portion of the inner disk,…

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…

VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV): The public ESO near-IR variability survey of the Milky Way

D. Minniti, P. W. Lucas, J. P. Emerson +63

We describe the public ESO near-IR variability survey (VVV) scanning the Milky Way bulge and an adjacent section of the mid-plane where star formation activity is high. The survey…
