Roman Early-Definition Astrophysics Survey Opportunity: Galactic Roman Infrared Plane Survey (GRIPS)
Roberta Paladini, Catherine Zucker, Robert Benjamin +67
A wide-field near-infrared survey of the Galactic disk and bulge/bar(s) is supported by a large representation of the community of Galactic astronomers. The combination of sensitiv…
The extinction law in the inner deg of the Milky Way and the red clump absolute magnitude in the inner bar-bulge
Jason L. Sanders, Leigh C. Smith, Carlos González-Fernández +2
The extinction law from to microns in the inner deg of the Milky Way is measured using data from VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea, GLIMPSE and WISE. Absol…
Dark lenses through the dust: parallax microlensing events in the VVV
Zofia Kaczmarek, Peter McGill, N. Wyn Evans +4
We use near-infrared photometry and astrometry from the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey to analyse microlensing events containing annual microlensing parallax inform…
Self-consistent modelling of the Milky Way's Nuclear Stellar Disc
Mattia C. Sormani, Jason L. Sanders, Tobias K. Fritz +14
The Nuclear Stellar Disc (NSD) is a flattened high-density stellar structure that dominates the gravitational field of the Milky Way at Galactocentric radius $30\lesssim R\lesssim…
A microlensing search of 700 million VVV light curves
Andrea Husseiniova, Peter McGill, Leigh C. Smith +1
The VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey and its extension, have been monitoring about 560 square degrees of sky centred on the Galactic bulge and inner disc for nearly a…
Discovery of a new nearby globular cluster with extreme kinematics located in the extension of a halo stream
Dante Minniti, José G. Fernández-Trincado, Matías Gómez +3
Context. We report the discovery of VVV-CL160, a new nearby globular cluster (GC) with extreme kinematics, located in the Galactic plane at deg, deg. Aim…
