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…
Three Galactic globular cluster candidates
C. Moni Bidin, F. Mauro, D. Geisler +12
The census of Galactic globular clusters (GCs) is still incomplete, and about ten new objects are supposed to await discovery, hidden behind the crowded and reddened regions of the…
The ACS Survey of Galactic Globular Clusters XI: The Three-Dimensional Orientation of the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy and its Globular Clusters
Michael H. Siegel, Steven R. Majewski, David R. Law +13
We use observations from the ACS study of Galactic globular clusters to investigate the spatial distribution of the inner regions of the disrupting Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal gal…
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…
The Vista Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) ESO Public Survey: Current Status and First Results
M. Catelan, D. Minniti, P. W. Lucas +29
Vista Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) is an ESO Public Survey that is performing a variability survey of the Galactic bulge and part of the inner disk using ESO's Visible and Inf…
The Edge of the Milky Way Stellar Disk Revealed Using Clump Giant Stars as Distance Indicators
D. Minniti, R. K. Saito, J. Alonso-García +2
We use the clump giants of the disk as standard candles calibrated from Hipparcos parallaxes in order to map their distribution with two new near-IR surveys of the Galactic plane:…
