An Infrared view of the obscured AGN environment in NGC 4945
Gaia Gaspar, Rubén J. Díaz, Damián Mast +4
NGC 4945 harbors one of the nearest active galactic nuclei (AGN), which allows reaching high spatial resolution with the current observational facilities. The Seyfert 2 nucleus is…
The Nuclear Source of the Galactic Wind in NGC 253
G. I. Günthardt, R. J. Díaz, M. P. Agüero +3
We present Br emission line kinematics of the nuclear region of NGC 253, recently known to host a strong galactic wind that limits the global star formation of the galaxy. We ob…
Circumnuclear rings and Lindblad resonances in spiral galaxies
E. O. Schmidt, D. Mast, R. Diaz +5
In order to study the location of circumnuclear rings (CNR) and their possible relation with the inner Lindblad resonances (ILR), we investigate a sample of spiral galaxies. For th…
A Near Infrared View of Nearby Galaxies: The Case of NGC 6300
Gaia Gaspar, Rubén Díaz, Damián Mast +3
We present a near-infrared study of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC\,6300, based on subarcsecond images and long slit spectroscopy obtained with Flamingos-2 at Gemini South. We have found…
VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV): Halfway Status and Results
Maren Hempel, Dante Minniti, István Dékány +89
The VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) survey is one of six public ESO surveys, and is now in its 4th year of observing. Although far from being complete, the VVV survey has a…
Southern near-infrared photometric monitoring of Galactic young star clusters (NIP of Stars)
R. Barbá, N. Morrell, G. Gunthardt +8
We have performed a near-infrared photometric monitoring of 39 galactic young star clusters and star-forming regions, known as {\em NIP of Stars}, between the years 2009--2011, usi…
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…
VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV): The public ESO near-IR variability survey of the Milky Way
D. Minniti, P. W. Lucas, J. P. Emerson +63
We describe the public ESO near-IR variability survey (VVV) scanning the Milky Way bulge and an adjacent section of the mid-plane where star formation activity is high. The survey…
Analysis of possible anomalies in the QSO distribution of the Flesch & Hardcastle catalogue
M. Lopez-Corredoira, C. M. Gutierrez, V. Mohan +2
AIMS. A recent catalogue by Flesch & Hardcastle presents two major anomalies in the spatial distribution of QSO candidates: i/ an apparent excess of such objects near bright galaxi…
