4XMM~J182531.5144036: A new persistent Be/X-ray binary found within the \emph{XMM-Newton} serendipitous survey
A. B. Mason, A. J. Norton, J. S. Clark +2
We aim to investigate the nature of time-variable X-ray sources detected in the {\it XMM-Newton} serendipitous survey. The X-ray light curves of objects in the {\it XMM-Newton} ser…
VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV): Halfway Status and Results
Maren Hempel, Dante Minniti, István Dékány +89
The VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) survey is one of six public ESO surveys, and is now in its 4th year of observing. Although far from being complete, the VVV survey has a…
A Young Massive Stellar Population Around the Intermediate Mass Black Hole ESO 243-49 HLX-1
S. Farrell, M. Servillat, J. Pforr +9
We present Hubble Space Telescope and simultaneous Swift X-ray telescope observations of the strongest candidate intermediate mass black hole ESO 243-49 HLX-1. Fitting the spectral…
UWISH2 -- The UKIRT Widefield Infrared Survey for H2
D., Froebrich, C. J. +56
We present the goals and preliminary results of an unbiased, near-infrared, narrow-band imaging survey of the First Galactic Quadrant (10deg<l<65deg ; -1.3deg<b<+1.3deg). This area…
A New 626 s Periodic X-ray Source in the Direction of the Galactic Center
Sean A. Farrell, Andrew J. Gosling, Natalie A. Webb +4
Here we report the detection of a 626 s periodic modulation from the X-ray source 2XMM J174016.0-290337 located in the direction of the Galactic center. We present temporal and spe…
The complex, variable near infrared extinction towards the Nuclear Bulge
Andrew J. Gosling, Reba M. Bandyopadhyay, Katherine M. Blundell
Using deep J, H and Ks-band observations, we have studied the near-infrared (nIR) extinction of the Nuclear Bulge (NB) and we find significant, complex variations on small physical…
