Discovery of new globular clusters in the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy
D. Minniti, V. Ripepi, J. G. Fernández-Trincado +14
Context. Globular clusters (GCs) are witnesses of the past accretion events onto the Milky Way (MW). In particular, the GCs of the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf galaxy are important prob…
Confirmation and physical characterization of the new bulge globular cluster Patchick 99 from the VVV and Gaia surveys
E. R. Garro, D. Minniti, M. Gómez +4
Globular clusters (GCs) are important tools to understand the formation and evolution of the Milky Way (MW). The known MW sample is still incomplete, so the discovery of new GC can…
VVVX-Gaia Discovery of a Low Luminosity Globular Cluster in the Milky Way Disk
E. R. Garro, D. Minniti, M. Gómez +20
Milky Way globular clusters (MW GCs) are difficult to identify at low Galactic latitudes because of high differential extinction and heavy star crowding. The new deep near-IR image…
VVV-WIT-04: an extragalactic variable source caught by the VVV Survey
Roberto K. Saito, Dante Minniti, Valentin D. Ivanov +8
We report the discovery of VVV-WIT-04, a near-infrared variable source towards the Galactic disk located ~0.2 arcsec apart from the position of the radio source PMN J1515-5559. The…
A Predicted Astrometric Microlensing Event by a Nearby White Dwarf
P. McGill, L. C. Smith, N. W. Evans +2
We used the Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution catalogue, part of the Gaia Data Release 1, to search for candidate astrometric microlensing events expected to occur within the remaini…
Probing the Dragonfish star-forming complex: the ionizing population of the young massive cluster Mercer 30
D. de la Fuente, F. Najarro, J. Borissova +11
The Dragonfish Nebula has been recently claimed to be powered by a superluminous but elusive OB association. Instead, systematic searches in near-infrared photometric surveys have…
