Light echoes reveal an unexpectedly cool Eta Carinae during its 19th-century Great Eruption
A. Rest, J. L. Prieto, N. R. Walborn +14
Eta Carinae (Eta Car) is one of the most massive binary stars in the Milky Way. It became the second-brightest star in the sky during its mid-19th century "Great Eruption," but the…
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…
New Galactic Star Clusters Discovered in the VVV Survey
Jura Borissova, Charles Bonatto, Radostin Kurtev +27
VISTA Variables in the V\'ıa Láctea (VVV) is one of the six ESO Public Surveys operating on the new 4-meter Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). VVV is scan…
Diffuse Intracluster Light at Intermediate Redshifts: ICL observations in a X-ray cluster at z=0.29
I. Toledo, J. Melnick, F. Selman +3
The diffuse intracluster light (ICL) contains a significant fraction of the total stellar mass in clusters of galaxies, and contributes in roughly equal proportion as the hot intra…
