Double Horizontal Branches in NGC 6440 and NGC 6569 unveiled by the VVV Survey
Francesco Mauro, Christian Moni Bidin, Roger Cohen +5
We report the discovery of a peculiar horizontal branch (HB) in NGC 6440 and NGC 6569, two massive and metal-rich Galactic globular clusters (GGCs) located in the Galactic bulge, w…
Three dimensional interstellar extinction map towards the Galactic Bulge
B. Q. Chen, M. Schultheis, B. W. Jiang +4
Studies of the properties of the inner Galactic Bulge depend strongly on the assumptions about the interstellar extinction. Most of the extinction maps available in the literature…
Massive open star clusters using the VVV survey II. Discovery of six clusters with Wolf-Rayet stars
A. -N. Chené, J. Borissova, C. Bonatto +20
Context: The ESO Public Survey "VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea" (VVV) provides deep multi-epoch infrared observations for an unprecedented 562 sq. degrees of the Galactic bulge,…
Addressing Decadal Survey Science through Community Access to Highly Multiplexed Spectroscopy with BigBOSS on the KPNO Mayall Telescope
Caty Pilachowski, Carles Badenes, Stephen Bailey +87
This document summarizes the results of a community-based discussion of the potential science impact of the Mayall+BigBOSS highly multiplexed multi-object spectroscopic capability.…
The long bar as seen by the VVV survey: I. Colour-magnitude diagrams
C. González-Fernández, M. López-Corredoira, E. B. Amôres +3
The VISTA Variable Survey (VVV) is able to map the Galaxy at l<0 with an unpaired depth (at least 3 mag deeper than 2MASS), opening new possibilities for studying the inner structu…
MOONS: a Multi-Object Optical and Near-infrared Spectrograph for the VLT
M. Cirasuolo, J. Afonso, R. Bender +77
MOONS is a new conceptual design for a Multi-Object Optical and Near-infrared Spectrograph for the Very Large Telescope (VLT), selected by ESO for a Phase A study. The baseline des…
