Establishing the Galactic Centre Distance Using VVV Bulge RR Lyrae Variables
D. Majaess, I. Dékány, G. Hajdu +3
This study's objective was to exploit infrared VVV (VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea) photometry for high latitude RRab stars to establish an accurate Galactic Centre distance. RR…
A new near-IR window of low extinction in the Galactic plane
Dante Minniti, Roberto K. Saito, Oscar A. Gonzalez +8
The windows of low extinction in the Milky Way (MW) plane are rare but important because they enable us to place structural constraints on the opposite side of the Galaxy, which ha…
A Near-infrared RR Lyrae census along the southern Galactic plane: the Milky Way's stellar fossil brought to light
István Dékány, Gergely Hajdu, Eva K. Grebel +5
RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) are tracers of the Milky Way's fossil record, holding valuable information on its formation and early evolution. Owing to the high interstellar extinction end…
