Establishing the Galactic Centre Distance Using VVV Bulge RR Lyrae Variables

D. Majaess, I. Dékány, G. Hajdu +3

This study's objective was to exploit infrared VVV (VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea) photometry for high latitude RRab stars to establish an accurate Galactic Centre distance. RR…

On the existence of young embedded clusters at high Galactic latitude

D. G. Turner, G. Carraro, E. A. Panko

Careful analyses of photometric and star count data available for the nine putative young clusters identified by Camargo et al. (2015, 2016) at high Galactic latitudes reveal that…

Extinction in the Star Cluster SAI~113 and Galactic Structure in Carina

Giovanni Carraro, David Turner, Daniel Majaess +3

Photometric CCD {\it UBVI} photometry obtained for 4860 stars surrounding the embedded southern cluster SAI~113 (Skiff~8) is used to examine the reddening in the field and deri…

Constraining Dust Extinction Properties via the VVV Survey

D. Majaess, D. Turner, I. Dekany +2

Near-infrared color-excess and extinction ratios are essential for establishing the cosmic distance scale and probing the Galaxy, particularly when analyzing targets attenuated by…

The Scale of Reddening for Classical Cepheid Variables

David G. Turner

Field reddenings are summarized for 68 Cepheids from published studies and updated results presented here. The compilation forms the basis for a comparison with other published red…

The complex stellar populations in the lines of sight to open clusters in the third Galactic quadrant

Giovanni Carraro, Anton F. Seleznev, Gustavo L. Baume +1

Multi-color photometry of the stellar populations in five fields in the third Galactic quadrant centred on the clusters NGC 2215, NGC 2354, Haffner 22, Ruprecht 11, and ESO489SC01…
