The Valuable Long-period Cluster Cepheid KQ Scorpii and other Calibration Candidates

Daniel Majaess, David G. Turner, Dante Minniti +2

The classical Cepheid KQ Sco is a valuable anchor for the distance scale because of its long pulsation period () and evidence implying membership in the open cluster…

VVVX survey dusts off a new intermediate-age star cluster in the Milky Way disk

E. R. Garro, D. Minniti, J. Alonso-García +5

Our primary long-term objective is to seek out additional star clusters in the poorly studied regions of the MW. The aim of this pursuit is to finalize the MG's globular and open c…

Spectroscopic confirmation of high-amplitude eruptive YSOs and dipping giants from the VVV survey

Zhen Guo, P. W. Lucas, R. Kurtev +17

During the pre-main-sequence (pre-MS) evolution stage of a star, significant amounts of stellar mass are accreted during episodic accretion events, such as multi-decade FUor-type o…
