VVV WIN 17333349: a low extinction window to probe the far side of the Milky Way bulge
Roberto K. Saito, Dante Minniti, Robert A. Benjamin +5
Windows of low extinction in the Milky Way (MW) have been used along the past decades for the study of the Galactic structure and the stellar population across the inner bulge and…
Mapping the stellar age of the Milky Way bulge with the VVV. I. The method
F. Surot, E. Valenti, S. L. Hidalgo +8
Recent observational programmes are providing a global view of the Milky Way bulge that serves as template for detailed comparison with models and extragalactic bulges. A number of…
First stellar spectroscopy in Leo P
C. J. Evans, N. Castro, O. A. Gonzalez +11
We present the first stellar spectroscopy in the low-luminosity (M_V ~-9.3 mag), dwarf galaxy Leo P. Its significantly low oxygen abundance (3% solar) and relative proximity (~1.6…
LSST Cadence Optimization White Paper: The Definitive Map of the Galactic bulge
Oscar A. Gonzalez, Will Clarkson, Victor P. Debattista +14
We recommend configuring the LSST coverage of the inner Galactic plane to allow the production of the definitive age/metallicity map of the Galactic bulge from LSST data, matched t…
Peanut-shaped metallicity distributions in bulges of edge-on galaxies: the case of NGC 4710
Oscar A. Gonzalez, Victor P. Debattista, Melissa Ness +2
Bulges of edge-on galaxies are often boxy/peanut-shaped (B/PS), and unsharp masks reveal the presence of an X shape. Simulations show that these shapes can be produced by dynamical…
The GIRAFFE Inner Bulge Survey (GIBS) III. Metallicity distributions and kinematics of 26 Galactic bulge fields
M. Zoccali, S. Vasquez, O. A. Gonzalez +9
Several recent studies have demonstrated that the Galactic bulge hosts two components with different mean metallicities, and possibly different spatial distribution and kinematics.…
