A Multiband Catalog of Infrared-Excess Sources in the Vela-Carina Region: VVVX, DECaPS, and GLIMPSE

R. M. Torres, R. K. Saito, V. Fermiano +4

Multiwavelength surveys of the Galactic midplane enable the identification of infrared-excess sources, signatures of circumstellar material, though high extinction and crowding hin…

Infrared-excess sources in VVV: candidate debris discs, SED characterization, and variability analysis

P. Esteves, R. K. Saito, C. Chavero +9

Debris disks around main-sequence stars provide important insights into planetary formation and evolution; however, identifying these systems in the Galactic plane, where high inte…

A near-infrared stellar atlas of the Galactic plane from the VVVX survey

Javier Alonso-García, Maren Hempel, Roberto K. Saito +12

The VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea eXtended (VVVX) ESO public survey observed the Galactic plane and the outer Galactic bulge in the near-infrared to mitigate the effects of ext…

VVV-WIT-13: an eruptive young star with cool molecular features

Zhen Guo, Philip Lucas, Sergey N. Yurchenko +27

Here we investigate an infrared eruptive source, identified from the decade-long VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea survey (VVV). We named this target after a group of variable sour…

Young Stellar Objects in the Carina nebula: Near-Infrared variability and spectroscopy

Jura Borissova, Radostin Kurtev, Josemanuel Escobar +10

We present a catalog of 652 young stellar objects (YSOs) in the Carina star-forming region. The catalog was constructed by combining near-infrared Ks-band variability from the VIST…

The VVV near-IR galaxy catalogue of the southern Galactic disc

M. V. Alonso, L. D. Baravalle, J. L. Nilo Castellón +16

The distribution of galaxies in the Zone of Avoidance (ZoA) is incomplete due to the presence of our own Galaxy. Our research focused on the identification and characterisation of…
