Predicted Stellar Kinematics of a Kiloparsec-Scale Nuclear Disc (or Ring) in the Milky Way
Victor P. Debattista, Samuel W. F. Earp, Melissa Ness +1
In Debattista et al. (2015), we proposed that a kiloparsec-scale nuclear disc is responsible for the high-velocity secondary peak in the stellar line-of-sight velocity distribution…
Extinction ratios in the inner Galaxy as revealed by the VVV survey
Javier Alonso-García, Dante Minniti, Márcio Catelan +7
Interstellar extinction towards the Galactic Center is large and significantly differential. Its reddening and dimming effects in red clump stars in the Galactic Bulge can be explo…
Stellar Populations in a semi-analytic model I: bulges of Milky Way-like galaxies
I. D. Gargiulo, S. A. Cora, C. A. Vega-Martínez +5
We study the stellar populations of bulges of Milky Way-like (MW-like) galaxies with the aim of identifying the physical processes involved in the formation of the bulge of our Gal…
Galactic Bulge Population II Cepheids in the VVV Survey: Period-Luminosity Relations and a Distance to the Galactic Center
A. Bhardwaj, M. Rejkuba, D. Minniti +7
We present the near-infrared observations of population II Cepheids in the Galactic bulge from VVV survey. We identify 340 population II Cepheids in the Galactic bulge from VVV sur…
The Gaia-ESO Survey: Exploring the complex nature and origins of the Galactic bulge populations
A. Rojas-Arriagada, A. Recio-Blanco, P. de Laverny +36
Abridged: We used the fourth internal data release of the Gaia-ESO survey to characterize the bulge chemistry, spatial distribution, kinematics, and to compare it chemically with t…
FSR 1716: A new Milky Way Globular Cluster confirmed using VVV RR Lyrae stars
Dante Minniti, Tali Palma, Istvan Dékány +35
We use deep multi-epoch near-IR images of the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) Survey to search for RR Lyrae stars towards the Southern Galactic plane. Here we report the di…
