Variable stars in the VVV globular clusters. II. NGC6441, NGC6569, NGC6626 (M28), NGC6656 (M22), 2MASS-GC02, and Terzan10
Javier Alonso-García, Leigh C. Smith, Márcio Catelan +18
The Galactic globular clusters (GGCs) located in the inner regions of the Milky Way suffer from high extinction that makes their observation challenging. The VVV survey provides a…
The VVV Infrared Variability Catalog (VIVA-I)
C. E. Ferreira Lopes, N. J. G. Cross, M. Catelan +17
Thanks to the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) ESO Public Survey it is now possible to explore a large number of objects in those regions. This paper addresses the variabili…
VVV-WIT-01: highly obscured classical nova or protostellar collision?
P. W. Lucas, D. Minniti, A. Kamble +18
A search of the first Data Release of the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) Survey discovered the exceptionally red transient VVV-WIT-01 (). It peaked before March…
VVV Survey of Blue Horizontal-Branch Stars in the Bulge-Halo Transition Region of the Milky Way
Katherine Montenegro, Dante Minniti, Javier Alonso-García +4
We characterize the population of blue horizontal-branch (BHB) stars in the bulge-halo transition region of the Milky Way using the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) ESO Publ…
Wide Field Near-Infrared Photometry of 12 Galactic Globular Clusters: Observations Versus Models on the Red Giant Branch
Roger E. Cohen, Maren Hempel, Francesco Mauro +3
We present wide field near-infrared photometry of 12 Galactic globular clusters, typically extending from the tip of the cluster red giant branch (RGB) to the main sequence turnoff…
Hundreds of new cluster candidates in the VISTA variables in the Via Lactea survey DR1
R. H. Barba, A. Roman-Lopes, J. L. Nilo Castellon +7
VISTA variables in the Via Lactea is an ESO Public survey dedicated to scan the bulge and an adjacent portion of the Galactic disk in the fourth quadrant using the VISTA telescope…
