Discovery of a new nearby globular cluster with extreme kinematics located in the extension of a halo stream
Dante Minniti, José G. Fernández-Trincado, Matías Gómez +3
Context. We report the discovery of VVV-CL160, a new nearby globular cluster (GC) with extreme kinematics, located in the Galactic plane at deg, deg. Aim…
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 Survey Microlensing: Catalog of Best and Forsaken Events
Maria Gabriela Navarro, Rodrigo Contreras Ramos, Dante Minniti +3
We search for microlensing events in the zero-latitude area of the Galactic Bulge using the VVV Survey near-IR data. We have discovered a total sample of events within an a…
Variable stars in Terzan 5: additional evidence of multi-age and multi-iron stellar populations
L. Origlia, A. Mucciarelli, G. Fiorentino +8
Terzan 5 is a complex stellar system in the Galactic bulge, harboring stellar populations with very different iron content (Δ[Fe/H] ~1 dex) and with ages differing by several Gyrs.…
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.…
Extinction ratios in the inner Galaxy as revealed by the VVV survey
Javier Alonso-García, Dante Minniti, Márcio Catelan +7
Interstellar extinction towards the Galactic Center is large and significantly differential. Its reddening and dimming effects in red clump stars in the Galactic Bulge can be explo…
