Stellar density profile and mass of the Milky Way Bulge from VVV data
E. Valenti, M. Zoccali, O. A. Gonzalez +6
We present the first stellar density profile of the Milky Way bulge reaching latitude . It is derived by counting red clump stars within the colour\--magnitude diagram c…
Reinforcing the link between the double red clump and the X-shaped bulge of the Milky Way
O. A. Gonzalez, M. Zoccali, Victor P. Debattista +3
The finding of a double red clump in the luminosity function of the Milky Way bulge has been interpreted as evidence for an X-shaped structure. Recently, an alternative explanation…
The VVV Survey reveals classical Cepheids tracing a young and thin stellar disk across the Galaxy's bulge
I. Dékány, D. Minniti, D. Majaess +6
Solid insight into the physics of the inner Milky Way is key to understanding our Galaxy's evolution, but extreme dust obscuration has historically hindered efforts to map the area…
G2C2 - IV: A novel approach to study the radial distributions of multiple populations in Galactic globular clusters
Joachim Vanderbeke, Roberto De Propris, Sven De Rijcke +4
We use the HB morphology of 48 Galactic GCs to study the radial distributions of the different stellar populations known to exist in globular clusters. Assuming that the (extremely…
An Updated Census of RR~Lyrae Stars in the Globular Cluster ~Centauri (NGC\,5139)
C. Navarrete, R. Contreras Ramos, M. Catelan +7
[ABRIDGED] Centauri (NGC 5139) contains large numbers of variable stars of different types and, in particular, more than a hundred RR Lyrae stars. We have conducted a variabili…
