A near-infrared stellar atlas of the Galactic plane from the VVVX survey
Javier Alonso-García, Maren Hempel, Roberto K. Saito +12
The VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea eXtended (VVVX) ESO public survey observed the Galactic plane and the outer Galactic bulge in the near-infrared to mitigate the effects of ext…
Variable stars in the VVV globular clusters III. RR Lyrae stars in the inner Galactic globular clusters
Javier Alonso-García, Leigh C. Smith, Jason L. Sanders +13
High reddening near the Galactic plane hampers observations and proper characterization of the globular clusters (GCs) located toward the inner regions of the Milky Way. The VISTA…
Metallicity-dependent kinematics and orbits in the Milky Way's nuclear stellar disc
F. Nogueras-Lara, N. Nieuwmunster, M. Schultheis +7
The nuclear stellar disc (NSD) is a flat and dense stellar structure at the centre of the Milky Way. Previous work has identified the presence of metal-rich and metal-poor stars in…
New candidate hypervelocity red clump stars in the inner Galactic bulge
A. Luna, T. Marchetti, M. Rejkuba +5
We search for high-velocity stars in the inner region of the Galactic bulge using a selected sample of red clump stars. Some of those stars might be considered hypervelocity stars…
The globular cluster VVV CL002 falling down to the hazardous Galactic centre
D. Minniti, N. Matsunaga, J. G. Fernandez-Trincado +15
Context. The Galactic centre is hazardous for stellar clusters because of the strong tidal force. Supposedly, many clusters were destroyed and contributed stars to the crowded stel…
The epoch of the Milky Way's bar formation: dynamical modelling of Mira variables in the nuclear stellar disc
Jason L. Sanders, Daisuke Kawata, Noriyuki Matsunaga +4
A key event in the history of the Milky Way is the formation of the bar. This event affects the subsequent structural and dynamical evolution of the entire Galaxy. When the bar for…
