Milky Way demographics with the VVV Survey III. Evidence for a Great Dark Lane in the 157 Million Star Bulge Color-Magnitude Diagram
D. Minniti, R. K. Saito, O. A. Gonzalez +10
The new generation of IR surveys are revealing and quantifying Galactic features, providing an improved 3-D interpretation of our own Galaxy. We present an analysis of the global d…
The Gaia-ESO Survey: metallicity and kinematic trends in the Milky Way bulge
A. Rojas-Arriagada, A. Recio-Blanco, V. Hill +30
(Abridged) We analyzed the stellar parameters and radial velocities of ~1200 stars in five bulge fields as determined from the Gaia-ESO survey data (iDR1). We use VISTA Variables i…
Tracing the outer halo in a giant elliptical to 25 Reff
M. Rejkuba, W. E. Harris, L. Greggio +3
We have used the ACS and WFC3 cameras on board HST to resolve stars in the halo of the nearest giant elliptical (gE) galaxy NGC 5128 out to a projected distance of 140 kpc (25 effe…
VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV): Halfway Status and Results
Maren Hempel, Dante Minniti, István Dékány +89
The VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) survey is one of six public ESO surveys, and is now in its 4th year of observing. Although far from being complete, the VVV survey has a…
The NIR structure of the barred galaxy NGC253 from VISTA
E. Iodice, M. Arnaboldi, M. Rejkuba +5
[abridged] We used J and Ks band images acquired with the VISTA telescope as part of the science verification to quantify the structures in the stellar disk of the barred Sc galaxy…
Mapping the Milky Way bulge at high resolution: the 3D dust extinction, CO, and X factor maps
M. Schultheis, B. Q. Chen, B. W. Jiang +6
Three dimensional interstellar extinction maps provide a powerful tool for stellar population analysis. We use data from the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea survey together with…
