AGN candidates in the VVV near-IR galaxy catalogue
Laura D. Baravalle, Eduardo O. Schmidt, M. Victoria Alonso +7
The goal of this work is to search for Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in the Galactic disc at very low latitudes with |b| 2. For this, we studied the five sources from th…
Mira variables in the Milky Way's nuclear stellar disc: discovery and classification
Jason L. Sanders, Noriyuki Matsunaga, Daisuke Kawata +3
The properties of the Milky Way's nuclear stellar disc give crucial information on the epoch of bar formation. Mira variables are promising bright candidates to study the nuclear s…
Evidence of distant spiral arms in the Galactic disk quadrant IV from VVV red clump giants
R. Kammers, R. K. Saito, E. Botan +4
The discovery of new clear windows in the Galactic plane using the VVV near-IR extinction maps allows the study of the structure of the Milky Way (MW) disk. The ultimate goal of th…
First semi-empirical test of the white dwarf mass-radius relationship using a single white dwarf via astrometric microlensing
Peter McGill, Jay Anderson, Stefano Casertano +15
In November 2019, the nearby single, isolated DQ-type white dwarf LAWD 37 (WD 1142-645) aligned closely with a distant background source and caused an astrometric microlensing even…
The VVV Open Cluster Project II. Near-infrared sequences of 37 open clusters on eight-dimensional parameter space
K. Peña Ramírez, L. C. Smith, S. Ramírez Alegría +4
Open clusters are key coeval structures that help us understand star formation, stellar evolution and trace the physical properties of our Galaxy. In the past years, the isolation…
Large amplitude periodic outbursts and long period variables in the VVV VIRAC2- database
Zhen Guo, P. W. Lucas, L. C. Smith +13
The VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey obtained near-infrared photometry toward the Galactic bulge and the southern disc plane for a decade (2010 - 2019). We designed a…
