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…
New variable stars discovered in the fields of three Galactic open clusters using the VVV Survey
Tali Palma, Dante Minniti, Istvan Dékány +5
This project is a massive near-infrared (NIR) search for variable stars in highly reddened and obscured open cluster (OC) fields projected on regions of the Galactic bulge and disk…
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…
Massive open star clusters using the VVV survey V. Young clusters with an OB stellar population
S. Ramírez Alegría, J. Borissova, A. -N. Chené +6
The ESO public survey VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) has contributed with deep multi-epoch photometry of the Galactic bulge and the adjacent part of the disk over 526 squa…
