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…
