Discovery of a Pair of Classical Cepheids in an Invisible Cluster Beyond the Galactic Bulge
I. Dékány, D. Minniti, G. Hajdu +6
We report the discovery of a pair of extremely reddened classical Cepheid variable stars located in the Galactic plane behind the bulge, using near-infrared time-series photometry…
Milky Way demographics with the VVV Survey III. Evidence for a Great Dark Lane in the 157 Million Star Bulge Color-Magnitude Diagram
D. Minniti, R. K. Saito, O. A. Gonzalez +10
The new generation of IR surveys are revealing and quantifying Galactic features, providing an improved 3-D interpretation of our own Galaxy. We present an analysis of the global d…
Confirmation of a cluster of galaxies hidden behind the Galactic bulge using the VVV Survey
Georgina Coldwell, Sol Alonso, Fernanda Duplancic +3
Suzaku and Chandra X-ray observations detected a new cluster of galaxies, Suzaku J1759-3450, at a redshift z=0.13. It is located behind the Milky Way, and the high Galactic dust ex…
New galactic star clusters discovered in the VVV survey. Candidates projected on the inner disk and bulge
J. Borissova, A. -N. Chené, S. Ramírez Alegría +21
VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) is one of six ESO Public Surveys using the 4 meter Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). The VVV survey covers the Mi…
Massive open star clusters using the VVV survey III: A young massive cluster at the far edge of the Galactic bar
S. Ramírez Alegría, J. Borissova, A. N. Chené +14
Context: Young massive clusters are key to map the Milky Way's structure, and near-IR large area sky surveys have contributed strongly to the discovery of new obscured massive stel…
