Young Stellar Clusters Containing Massive Young Stellar Objects in the VVV Survey

J. Borissova, S. Ramírez Alegría, J. Alonso +17

The purpose of this research is to study the connection of global properties of eight young stellar clusters projected in the Vista Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) ESO Large Publ…

Highly variable young massive stars in ATLASGAL clumps

M. S. N. Kumar, C. Contreras-Pena, P. W. Lucas +1

High-amplitude variability in Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) is usually associated with episodic accretion events. It has not been observed so far in massive YSOs. Here, the high-amp…

Discovery of a Long-Lived, High Amplitude Dusty Infrared Transient

C. T. Britt, T. J. Maccarone, J. D. Green +15

We report the detection of an infrared selected transient which has lasted at least 5 years, first identified by a large mid-infrared and optical outburst from a faint X-ray source…

Infrared spectroscopy of eruptive variable protostars from VVV

C. Contreras Peña, P. W. Lucas, R. Kurtev +11

In a companion work (Paper I) we detected a large population of highly variable Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) in the Vista Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey, typically with c…

A population of eruptive variable protostars in VVV

C. Contreras Peña, P. W. Lucas, D. Minniti +10

We present the discovery of 816 high amplitude infrared variable stars ( 1 mag) in 119 deg of the Galactic midplane covered by the Vista Variables in the Via Lact…
