VVV DR1: The First Data Release of the Milky Way Bulge and Southern Plane from the Near-Infrared ESO Public Survey VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea
R. K. Saito, M. Hempel, D. Minniti +107
The ESO Public Survey VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) started in 2010. VVV targets 562 sq. deg in the Galactic bulge and an adjacent plane region and is expected to run for…
The inner Galactic bar traced by the VVV survey
O. A. Gonzalez, M. Rejkuba, D. Minniti +3
We use the VVV survey observations in bulge regions close to the Galactic plane to trace the bar inclination at the Galactic latitude b\sim\pm1° and to investigate a distinct struc…
Three Galactic globular cluster candidates
C. Moni Bidin, F. Mauro, D. Geisler +12
The census of Galactic globular clusters (GCs) is still incomplete, and about ten new objects are supposed to await discovery, hidden behind the crowded and reddened regions of the…
MAD about the Large Magellanic Cloud: preparing for the era of Extremely Large Telescopes
G. Fiorentino, E. Tolstoy, E. Diolaiti +3
We present J, H, Ks photometry from the the Multi conjugate Adaptive optics Demonstrator (MAD), a visitor instrument at the VLT, of a resolved stellar population in a small crowded…
Reddening and metallicity maps of the Milky Way Bulge from VVV and 2MASS. I.The method and minor axis maps
O. A. Gonzalez, M. Rejkuba, M. Zoccali +2
We present a method to obtain reddening maps and to trace structure and metallicity gradients of the bulge using data from the recently started ESO public survey Vista Variables in…
Massive stars in the Cl 1813-178 Cluster. An episode of massive star formation in the W33 complex
Maria Messineo, Ben Davies, Donald F. Figer +5
Young massive (M >10^4 Msun) stellar clusters are a good laboratory to study the evolution of massive stars. Only a dozen of such clusters are known in the Galaxy. Here we report a…
