Extinction ratios in the inner Galaxy as revealed by the VVV survey
Javier Alonso-García, Dante Minniti, Márcio Catelan +7
Interstellar extinction towards the Galactic Center is large and significantly differential. Its reddening and dimming effects in red clump stars in the Galactic Bulge can be explo…
FSR 1716: A new Milky Way Globular Cluster confirmed using VVV RR Lyrae stars
Dante Minniti, Tali Palma, Istvan Dékány +35
We use deep multi-epoch near-IR images of the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) Survey to search for RR Lyrae stars towards the Southern Galactic plane. Here we report the di…
Characterization of the VVV Survey RR Lyrae Population across the Southern Galactic Plane
Dante Minniti, Istvan Dékány, Daniel Majaess +14
Deep near-IR images from the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) Survey were used to search for RR Lyrae stars in the Southern Galactic plane. A sizable sample of 404 RR Lyrae…
Candidate star clusters toward the inner Milky Way discovered on deep-stacked Ks-band images from the VVV Survey
Valentin D. Ivanov, Andrés E. Piatti, Juan-Carlos Beamín +5
The census of star clusters in the inner Milky Way is incomplete because of extinction and crowding. We embarked on a program to expand the star cluster list in the direction of th…
