    • New evidence supporting membership for TW nor in Lyngå 6 and the centaurus spiral arm 

      Majaess, D.; Turner, D.; Moni Bidin, C.; Mauro, F.; Geisler, D.; Gieren, W.; Chené, A.-N.; Minniti, D.; Saito, R.K.; Minniti, D.; Minniti, D.; Chené, A.-N.; Borissova, J.; Kurtev, R.; Lucas, P.W.; Dékny, I. (2011)
      The putative association between the 10. 8 classical Cepheid TW Nor and the open cluster Lyngå 6 has generated considerable debate in the literature.NewJHK photometry in tandem with existing radial velocities for Lyngå 6 ...

    • Strengthening the open cluster distance scale via VVV photometry 

      Majaess, D.; Turner, D.; Moni Bidin, C.; Geisler, D.; Borissova, J.; Minniti, D.; Bonatto, C.; Gieren, W.; Carraro, G.; Kurtev, R.; Mauro, F.; Chené, A.-N.; Forbes, D.; Lucas, P.W.; Dékány, I.; Saito, R.K.; Soto, M. (2012)
      Approximately 14% of known Galactic open clusters possess absolute errors ≤20% as evaluated from n ≥ 3 independent distance estimates, and the statistics for age estimates are markedly worse. That impedes such diverse ...

      We describe the public ESO near-IR variability survey (VVV) scanning the Milky Way bulge and an adjacent section of the mid-plane where star formation activity is high. The survey will take 1929 h of observations with the ...

      Context. The ESO public survey VISTA variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) started in 2010. VVV targets 562 sq. deg in the Galactic bulge and an adjacent plane region and is expected to run for about five years. Aims. We ...
