    • Analysis of physical processes in eruptive YSOs with near infrared spectra and multi-wavelength light curves 

      Guo, Zhen; Lucas, P. W.; Contreras Pena, Carlos; Smith, L. C.; Morris, C.; Kurtev, R. G.; Borissova, J.; Alonso-García, J.; Minniti, D.; Chené, A. -N.; Kumar, M. S. N.; Garatti, A. Caratti o; Froebrich, D. (2021-03-26)
      The decade-long Vista Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey has detected numerous highly variable young stellar objects (YSOs). We present a study of 61 highly variable VVV YSOs (Delta Ks = 1-5 mag), combining near ...
    • Large amplitude periodic outbursts and long period variables in the VVV VIRAC2-$β$ database 

      Guo, Zhen; Lucas, P. W.; Smith, L. C.; Clarke, C.; Peña, C. Contreras; Bayo, A.; Briceño, C.; Elias, J.; Kurtev, R. G.; Borissova, J.; Alonso-García, J.; Minniti, D.; Catelan, M.; Nikzat, F.; Morris, C.; Miller, N. (2022-03-21)
      The VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey obtained near-infrared photometry toward the Galactic bulge and the southern disc plane for a decade (2010 - 2019). We designed a modified Lomb-Scargle method to search ...
    • Multiwavelength detection of an ongoing FUOr-type outburst on a low-mass YSO 

      Guo, Zhen; Lucas, P. W.; Kurtev, R. G.; Borissova, J.; Elbakyan, V.; Morris, C.; Bayo, A.; Smith, L.; Garatti, A. Caratti o; Peña, C. Contreras; Minniti, D.; Jose, J.; Ashraf, M.; Alonso-García, J; Miller, N.; Muthu, H. D. S. (2024-03-01)
      During the pre-main-sequence evolution, Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) assemble most of their mass during the episodic accretion process. The rarely seen FUOr-type events are valuable laboratories to investigate the outbursting ...
    • Short and long term near-infrared spectroscopic variability of eruptive protostars from VVV 

      Guo, Zhen; Lucas, P. W.; Peña, C. Contreras; Kurtev, R. G.; Smith, L. C.; Borissova, J.; Alonso-García, J.; Minniti, D.; Garatti, A. Caratti o; Froebrich, Dirk (2020-02-01)
      Numerous eruptive variable young stellar objects (YSOs), mostly Class I systems, were recently detected by the near-infrared Vista Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey. We present an exploratory near-infrared spectroscopic ...
