A Newly Discovered VVVX Star Cluster Surfing the Galactic Disk
Elisa R. Garro, José G. Fernández-Trincado, Casmir O. Obasi +15
We report the discovery of Garro 04, a previously unidentified stellar cluster toward the Galactic disc, uncovered as part of the ESO/KMOS VVVX-GalCen Spectroscopic Survey. This ob…
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…
Protostars at Subsolar Metallicity: First Detection of Large Solid-state Complex Organic Molecules in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Marta Sewiło, Will R. M. Rocha, Martijn van Gelder +11
We present the results of James Webb Space Telescope observations of the protostar ST6 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) with the Medium Resolution Spectrograph of the Mid-Infrar…
PROJECT-J: JWST observations of HH46~IRS and its outflow. Overview and first results
B. Nisini, M. G. Navarro, T. Giannini +23
We present the first results of the JWST program PROJECT-J (PROtostellar JEts Cradle Tested with JWST ), designed to study the Class I source HH46 IRS and its outflow through NIRSp…
The globular cluster VVV CL002 falling down to the hazardous Galactic centre
D. Minniti, N. Matsunaga, J. G. Fernandez-Trincado +15
Context. The Galactic centre is hazardous for stellar clusters because of the strong tidal force. Supposedly, many clusters were destroyed and contributed stars to the crowded stel…
Globular Clusters in the Galactic Center Region: expected behavior in the infalling and merger scenario
Maria Gabriela Navarro, Roberto Capuzzo-Dolcetta, Manuel Arca-Sedda +1
The infall and merger scenario of massive clusters in the Milky Way's potential well, as one of the Milky Way formation mechanisms, is reexamined to understand how the stars of the…
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-WIT-04: an extragalactic variable source caught by the VVV Survey
Roberto K. Saito, Dante Minniti, Valentin D. Ivanov +8
We report the discovery of VVV-WIT-04, a near-infrared variable source towards the Galactic disk located ~0.2 arcsec apart from the position of the radio source PMN J1515-5559. The…
Microlensing events in the Galactic bulge
Maria Gabriela Navarro, Dante Minniti, Roberto Capuzzo-Dolcetta +2
For the first time we detected microlensing events at zero latitude in the Galactic bulge using the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea Survey (VVV) data. We have discovered a total…
VVV Survey Microlensing: the Galactic Longitude Dependence
María Gabriela Navarro, Dante Minniti, Rodrigo Contreras Ramos
We completed the search for microlensing events in the zero latitude area of the Galactic bulge using the VVV Survey near-IR data obtained between 2010 and 2015. We have now a tota…
The VVV Survey RR Lyrae Population in the Galactic Centre Region
Rodrigo Contreras Ramos, Dante Minniti, Felipe Gran +6
Deep near-IR images from the VVV Survey were used to search for RR Lyrae type ab (RRab) stars within 100' from the Galactic Centre (GC). A sample of 960 RRab stars were discovered.…
