Extinction ratios in the inner Galaxy as revealed by the VVV survey
Javier Alonso-García, Dante Minniti, Márcio Catelan +7
Interstellar extinction towards the Galactic Center is large and significantly differential. Its reddening and dimming effects in red clump stars in the Galactic Bulge can be explo…
Pulsating stars in Centauri: Near-IR properties and period-luminosity relations
Camila Navarrete, Márcio Catelan, Rodrigo Contreras Ramos +4
Centauri (NGC~5139) contains many variable stars of different types, including the pulsating type II Cepheids, RR Lyrae and SX Phoenicis stars. We carried out a deep, wide-fiel…
Near-IR period-luminosity relations for pulsating stars in Centauri (NGC 5139)
C. Navarrete, M. Catelan, R. Contreras Ramos +4
Centauri (NGC 5139) hosts hundreds of pulsating variable stars of different types, thus representing a treasure trove for studies of their corresponding period-luminosity (PL)…
FSR 1716: A new Milky Way Globular Cluster confirmed using VVV RR Lyrae stars
Dante Minniti, Tali Palma, Istvan Dékány +35
We use deep multi-epoch near-IR images of the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) Survey to search for RR Lyrae stars towards the Southern Galactic plane. Here we report the di…
Characterization of the VVV Survey RR Lyrae Population across the Southern Galactic Plane
Dante Minniti, Istvan Dékány, Daniel Majaess +14
Deep near-IR images from the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) Survey were used to search for RR Lyrae stars in the Southern Galactic plane. A sizable sample of 404 RR Lyrae…
