"Oh FUors where art thou": A search for long-lasting YSO outbursts hiding in infrared surveys
Carlos Contreras Peña, Jeong-Eun Lee, Ho-Gyu Lee +11
Long-lasting episodes of high accretion can strongly impact stellar and planetary formation. However, the universality of these events during the formation of young stellar objects…
On the incidence of episodic accretion in Class I YSOs from VVV
Carlos Contreras Peña, Philip W. Lucas, Zhen Guo +1
Episodic accretion is one of the competing models to explain the observed luminosity spread in young stellar clusters. These short-lived high accretion events could also have a str…
The most variable VVV sources: eruptive protostars, dipping giants in the Nuclear Disc and others
P. W. Lucas, L. C. Smith, Z. Guo +16
We have performed a comprehensive search of a VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) database of 9.5 yr light curves for variable sources with mag, aiming to provide…
Multi-wavelength detection of an ongoing FUOr-type outburst on a low-mass YSO
Zhen Guo, P. W. Lucas, R. G. Kurtev +13
During the pre-main-sequence evolution, Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) assemble most of their mass during the episodic accretion process. The rarely seen FUOr-type events (FUOrs) are…
Spectroscopic confirmation of high-amplitude eruptive YSOs and dipping giants from the VVV survey
Zhen Guo, P. W. Lucas, R. Kurtev +17
During the pre-main-sequence (pre-MS) evolution stage of a star, significant amounts of stellar mass are accreted during episodic accretion events, such as multi-decade FUor-type o…
High energy gamma-ray sources in the VVV survey -- II. The AGN counterparts
Laura G. Donoso, Ana Pichel, Laura D. Baravalle +9
We identified Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) candidates as counterparts to unidentified gamma-ray sources (UGS) from the Fermi-LAT Fourth Source Catalogue at lower Galactic latitudes…
A Benchmark White Dwarf-Ultracool Dwarf Wide Field Binary
Thiago Ferreira, Roberto K. Saito, Dante Minniti +8
We present the discovery and multi-wavelength characterisation of VVV J1438-6158 AB, a new field wide-binary system consisting of a 4.6(+5.5-2.4) Gyr and Teff = 9500+/-125 K DA whi…
Spatially resolved microlensing timescale distributions across the Galactic bulge with the VVV survey
Zofia Kaczmarek, Peter McGill, N. Wyn Evans +5
We analyze 1602 microlensing events found in the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) near-infrared (NIR) survey data. We obtain spatially-resolved, efficiency-corrected timesca…
VVV-WIT-12 and its fashionable nebula: a four year long period Young Stellar Object with a light echo?
Roberto K. Saito, Bringfried Stecklum, Dante Minniti +7
We report the serendipitous discovery of VVV-WIT-12, an unusual variable source that seems to induce variability in its surrounding nebula. The source belongs to the rare objects t…
Discovery of a Long-Lived, High Amplitude Dusty Infrared Transient
C. T. Britt, T. J. Maccarone, J. D. Green +15
We report the detection of an infrared selected transient which has lasted at least 5 years, first identified by a large mid-infrared and optical outburst from a faint X-ray source…
