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…
Variable star classification across the Galactic bulge and disc with the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea survey
Thomas A. Molnar, Jason L. Sanders, Leigh C. Smith +3
We present VIVACE, the VIrac VAriable Classification Ensemble, a catalogue of variable stars extracted from an automated classification pipeline for the Vista Variables in the Vía…
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…
VVV-WIT-08: the giant star that blinked
Leigh C. Smith, Sergey E. Koposov, Philip W. Lucas +11
We report the serendipitous discovery of a late-type giant star that exhibited a smooth, eclipse-like drop in flux to a depth of 97 per cent. Minimum flux occurred in April 2012 an…
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…
Assessing the stellar population and the environment of an HII region on the far side of the Galaxy
A. -N. Chené, R. A. Benjamin, S. Ramírez Alegría +15
We have investigated the stellar and interstellar content of the distant star formation region IRAS 17591-2228 (WISE HII region GAL 007.47+0.06). It is associated to a water maser,…
