The deepest color-magnitude diagrams for the benchmark open cluster NGC 2437 from Gaia and VVVX

Tali Palma, Matías Gómez, Dante Minniti +8

Deep photometry of Galactic star clusters provides one of the most powerful tools for determining their physical properties. In particular, in low Galactic latitude regions that su…

A near-infrared stellar atlas of the Galactic plane from the VVVX survey

Javier Alonso-García, Maren Hempel, Roberto K. Saito +12

The VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea eXtended (VVVX) ESO public survey observed the Galactic plane and the outer Galactic bulge in the near-infrared to mitigate the effects of ext…

Variable stars in the VVV globular clusters III. RR Lyrae stars in the inner Galactic globular clusters

Javier Alonso-García, Leigh C. Smith, Jason L. Sanders +13

High reddening near the Galactic plane hampers observations and proper characterization of the globular clusters (GCs) located toward the inner regions of the Milky Way. The VISTA…

VIRAC2: NIR Astrometry and Time Series Photometry for 500M+ Stars from the VVV and VVVX Surveys

Leigh C. Smith, Philip W. Lucas, Sergey E. Koposov +11

We present VIRAC2, a catalogue of positions, proper motions, parallaxes and , , , , and near-infrared photometric time series of 545 346 537 unique stars. The cat…

The distant Milky Way halo from the Southern hemisphere: Characterization of the LMC-induced dynamical-friction wake

Manuel Cavieres, Julio Chanamé, Camila Navarrete +6

The infall of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) into the Milky Way's halo impacts the distribution of stars and dark matter in our Galaxy. Mapping the observational consequences of…

The ACS Survey of Galactic Globular Clusters. XII. Photometric Binaries along the Main-Sequence

A. P. Milone, G. Piotto, L. R. Bedin +15

The fraction of binary stars is an important ingredient to interpret globular cluster dynamical evolution and their stellar population. We investigate the properties of main-sequen…

The ACS Survey of Galactic Globular Clusters. III. The Double Subgiant Branch of NGC 1851

A. P. Milone, L. R. Bedin, G. Piotto +13

Photometry with HST's ACS reveals that the subgiant branch (SGB) of the globular cluster NGC 1851 splits into two well-defined branches. If the split is due only to an age effect,…
