The VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea eXtended (VVVX) ESO public survey: Completion of the observations and legacy
R. K. Saito, M. Hempel, J. Alonso-García +143
The ESO public survey VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) surveyed the inner Galactic bulge and the adjacent southern Galactic disk from . Upon its conclusion, the c…
Analysis of the physical nature of 22 New VVV Survey Globular Cluster candidates in the Milky Way Bulge
Tali Palma, Dante Minniti, Javier Alonso-García +11
In order to characterize 22 new globular cluster (GC) candidates in the Galactic bulge, we present their colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) and Ks-band luminosity functions (LFs) usi…
Searching for Extragalactic Sources in the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea Survey
Laura D. Baravalle, M. Victoria Alonso, José L. Nilo Castellón +2
We search for extragalactic sources in the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea survey that are hidden by the Galaxy. Herein, we describe our photometric procedure to find and charact…
Discovery of New Companions to High Proper Motion Stars from the VVV Survey
Valentin D. Ivanov, Dante Minniti, Maren Hempel +14
[abridged] The severe crowding in the direction of the inner Milky Way suggests that the census of stars within a few tens of parsecs in that direction may not be complete. We sear…
Milky Way Demographics with the VVV Survey II. Color Transformations and Near-Infrared Photometry for 136 Million Stars in the Southern Galactic Disk
M. Soto, R. Barba, G. Gunthardt +18
The new multi-epoch near-infrared VVV survey (VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea) is sampling 562 sq. deg of the Galactic bulge and adjacent regions of the disk. Accurate astrometry…
A near-infrared catalogue of the Galactic novae in the VVV survey area
R. K. Saito, D. Minniti, R. Angeloni +7
Near-IR data of Classical Novae contain useful information about the ejected gas mass and the thermal emission by dust formed during eruption, and provide independent methods to cl…
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…
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…
