Converging on the Cepheid Metallicity Dependence: Implications of Non-Standard Gaia Parallax Recalibration on Distance Measures
Louise Breuval, Gagandeep S. Anand, Richard I. Anderson +20
By comparing Cepheid brightnesses with geometric distance measures including Gaia EDR3 parallaxes, most recent analyses conclude metal-rich Cepheids are brighter, quantified as $γ…
Unveiling VVV/WISE Mira variables on the far side of the Galactic disk: Distances, kinematics and a new extinction law
Rogelio AlbarracÃn, M. Zoccali, J. Olivares Carvajal +8
The structure and kinematics of the Milky Way disk are largely inferred from the solar vicinity. To gain a comprehensive understanding, it is essential to find reliable tracers in…
VVV catalog of ab-type RR Lyrae in the inner Galactic bulge
M. Zoccali, C. Quezada, R. Contreras Ramos +7
Context. Observational evidence has accumulated in the past years, showing that the Galactic bulge includes two populations, a metal poor and a metal rich one that, in addition to…
The VISTA Variables in the VÃa Láctea eXtended (VVVX) ESO public survey: Completion of the observations and legacy
R. K. Saito, M. Hempel, J. Alonso-GarcÃa +143
The ESO public survey VISTA Variables in the VÃa Láctea (VVV) surveyed the inner Galactic bulge and the adjacent southern Galactic disk from . Upon its conclusion, the…
