VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV): The public ESO near-IR variability survey of the Milky Way
D. Minniti, P. W. Lucas, J. P. Emerson +63
We describe the public ESO near-IR variability survey (VVV) scanning the Milky Way bulge and an adjacent section of the mid-plane where star formation activity is high. The survey…
Blue Dots Team Transits Working Group Review
A. Sozzetti, C. Afonso, R. Alonso +9
Transiting planet systems offer an unique opportunity to observationally constrain proposed models of the interiors (radius, composition) and atmospheres (chemistry, dynamics) of e…
LSST Science Book, Version 2.0
LSST Science Collaboration, Paul A. Abell, Julius Allison +245
A survey that can cover the sky in optical bands over wide fields to faint magnitudes with a fast cadence will enable many of the exciting science opportunities of the next decade.…
Pushing the Boundaries of Conventional Core-Collapse Supernovae: The Extremely Energetic Supernova SN 2003ma
A. Rest, R. J. Foley, S. Gezari +34
We report the discovery of a supernova (SN) with the highest apparent energy output to date and conclude that it represents an extreme example of the Type IIn subclass. The SN, whi…
Millimagnitude Photometry for Transiting Extrasolar Planetary Candidates. V. Follow-up of 30 OGLE Transits. New Candidates
P. Pietrukowicz, D. Minniti, R. F. Diaz +8
We used VLT/VIMOS images in the V band to obtain light curves of extrasolar planetary transits OGLE-TR-111 and OGLE-TR-113, and candidate planetary transits: OGLE-TR-82, OGLE-TR-86…
Chemical abundances for 11 bulge stars from high-resolution, near-IR spectra
N. Ryde, B. Gustafsson, B. Edvardsson +10
It is debated whether the Milky Way bulge has the characteristics of a classical bulge sooner than those of a pseudobulge. Detailed abundance studies of bulge stars is a key to inv…
