The Gaia parallax discrepancy for the cluster Pismis 19, and separating Scutis from Cepheids

Daniel Majaess, Charles J. Bonatto, David G. Turner +10

Pre-Gaia distances for the open cluster Pismis 19 disagree with Gaia parallaxes. A 2MASS red clump distance was therefore established for Pismis 19 ( kpc), whic…

Unveiling short period binaries in the inner VVV bulge

E. Botan, R. K. Saito, D. Minniti +5

Most of our knowledge about the structure of the Milky Way has come from the study of variable stars. Among the variables, mimicking the periodic variation of pulsating stars, are…

The RR Lyrae projected density distribution from the Galactic centre to the halo

Maria Gabriela Navarro, Dante Minniti, Roberto Capuzzo-Dolcetta +4

The projected density distribution of type ab RR Lyrae (RRab) stars was characterised from the innermost regions of the Milky Way to the halo, with the aim of placing constraints o…

VVV survey microlensing: candidate events with source in the far disk

Maria Gabriela Navarro, Dante Minniti, Rodrigo Contreras Ramos

The VVV microlensing search has recently surveyed the region of the Galactic plane at b=0 within -10.00 < l < 10.44 deg. in the near-infrared (IR), discovering hundreds of microlen…

VVV WIN 17333349: a low extinction window to probe the far side of the Milky Way bulge

Roberto K. Saito, Dante Minniti, Robert A. Benjamin +5

Windows of low extinction in the Milky Way (MW) have been used along the past decades for the study of the Galactic structure and the stellar population across the inner bulge and…

VVV Survey Microlensing: the Galactic Latitude Dependence

Maria Gabriela Navarro, Dante Minniti, Joyce Pullen +1

We search for microlensing events in fields along the Galactic minor axis, ranging from the Galactic center to -3.7<b< 3.9 deg., using the VVV survey near-IR photometry. The new se…
