Clustered Cepheid Variables 90 kiloparsec from the Galactic Center

Sukanya Chakrabarti, Roberto Saito, Alice Quillen +3

Distant regions close to the plane of our Galaxy are largely unexplored by optical surveys as they are hidden by dust. We have used near-infrared data (that minimizes dust obscurat…
