    • Discovery of a new nearby globular cluster with extreme kinematics located in the extension of a halo stream 

      Minniti, Dante; Fernández-Trincado, José G.; Gómez, Matías; Smith, Leigh C.; Lucas, Philip W.; Ramos, R. Contreras (2021-06-01)
      Context. We report the discovery of VVV-CL160, a new nearby globular cluster (GC) with extreme kinematics, located in the Galactic plane at l = 10.1477 deg, b = 0.2999 deg. Aims. We aim to characterize the physical properties ...
