The extragalactic science of the KMOS VVVX-GalCen spectroscopic survey II: Discovery of a galaxy cluster at z = 0.089 behind the Galactic plane
E. O. Schmidt, C. Valotto, C. Villalon +33
The Zone of Avoidance (ZoA) continues to represent the most significant incompleteness in the extragalactic census of the Local Universe. It is evident that photometric surveys alo…
Kinematical and dynamical properties of recently discovered bulge and disc star clusters with WINERED
Ilaria Petralia, Dante Minniti, José G. Fernández-Trincado +8
Context. Galactic globular clusters are a very important tool in explaining the characteristics of the Milky Way. Therefore it is essential to determine the kinematical and dynamic…
Chemical radial gradients for the bulge-bar stellar populations from the APOGEE survey
J. V. Sales-Silva, K. Cunha, V. V. Smith +20
The Milky Way bulge-bar is composed of multiple populations. Using chemical and kinematical planes, we segregate six populations in a bulge-bar sample observed by the APOGEE survey…
Spatial Property of Multiple Metallic Populations in the Tidal Stream of ω Centauri
Shiru Zheng, Baitian Tang, Long Wang +4
ω Centauri, the remnant nucleus of an accreted dwarf galaxy, is a unique laboratory for studying complex stellar populations. The recently discovered Fimbulthul stream provides a f…
Consensus based Algorithm for Nonparametric Detection of Star Clusters (CANDiSC)
C O Obasi, J G Fernandez Trincado, M Gomez +14
Context: The VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) and its extension (VVVX) are near-infrared surveys mapping the Galactic bulge and adjacent disk. These data have enabled the di…
