A Sequoia in the Garden: FSR 1758 - Dwarf Galaxy or Giant Globular Cluster?
R. H. Barba, D. Minniti, D. Geisler +5
We present the physical characterization of FSR 1758, a new large, massive object very recently discovered in the Galactic Bulge. The combination of optical data from the 2nd Gaia…
New Galactic Star Clusters Discovered in the Disk Area of the VVVX Survey
J. Borissova, V. D. Ivanov, P. W. Lucas +8
The "VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea eXtended (VVVX)" ESO Public Survey is a near-infrared photometric sky survey that covers nearly 1700 sq. deg towards the Galactic disk and bu…
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…
The structure behind the Galactic bar traced by red clump stars in the VVV survey
Oscar A. Gonzalez, Dante Minniti, Elena Valenti +8
Red clump stars are commonly used to map the reddening and morphology of the inner regions of the Milky Way. We use the new photometric catalogues of the VISTA Variables in the Vía…
Milky Way demographics with the VVV survey. IV. PSF photometry from almost one billion stars in the Galactic bulge and adjacent southern disk
Javier Alonso-García, Roberto K. Saito, Maren Hempel +10
The inner regions of the Galaxy are severely affected by extinction, which limits our capability to study the stellar populations present there. The Vista Variables in the Via Lact…
The Orbit of the new Milky Way Globular Cluster FSR1716 = VVV-GC05
Rodrigo Contreras Ramos, Dante Minniti, Jose G. Fernandez-Trincado +10
We use deep multi-epoch near-IR images of the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) Survey to measure proper motions (PMs) of stars in the Milky Way globular cluster FSR1716 = VV…
