    • Discovery of a mid-infrared protostellar outburst of exceptional amplitude 

      Lucas, P. W.; Elias, Jay; Points, Sean; Guo, Z.; Stecklum, B.; Vorobyov, E.; Morris, C.; Borissova, J.; Kurtev, R.; Pena, C. Contreras; Medina, N.; Minniti, D.; Ivanov, V. D.; Saito, R. K. (2020-09-23)
      We report the discovery of a mid-infrared outburst in a Young Stellar Object (YSO) with an amplitude close to 8 mag at lambda ~ 4.6 microns. WISEA J142238.82-611553.7 is one of 23 highly variable WISE sources discovered ...

    • Long-term Stellar Variability in the Galactic Centre Region 

      Molina, C. Navarro; Borissova, J.; Catelan, M.; Lucas, P. W.; Medina, N.; Pena, C. Contreras; Kurtev, R.; Minniti, D. (2019-02)
      We report the detection of variable stars within a 11.5' x 11.5' region near the Galactic centre (GC) that includes the Arches and Quintuplet clusters, as revealed by the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey. ...

    • Near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy of the low Galactic latitude globular cluster 2MASS-GC03 

      Carballo-Bello, Julio A.; Alegria, S. Ramirez; Borissova, J.; Smith, L. C.; Kurtev, R.; Lucas, P. W.; Bidin, Ch Moni; Alonso-Garcia, J.; Minniti, D.; Palma, T.; Dekany, I.; Medina, N.; Moyano, M.; Villanueva, V.; Kuhn, M. A. (2016-10-11)
      We present deep near-infrared photometry and spectroscopy of the globular cluster 2MASS-GC03 projected in the Galactic disk using MMIRS on the Clay telescope (Las Campanas Observatory) and VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea ...

    • New Galactic star clusters discovered in the disc area of the VVVX survey 

      Borissova, J.; Ivanov, V. D.; Lucas, P. W.; Kurtev, R.; Alonso-Garcia, J.; Alegria, S. Ramirez; Minniti, D.; Hempel, M.; Medina, N.; Chene, A. N.; Kuhn, M. A. (2018-12-11)
      The "VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea eXtended (VVVX)" ESO Public Survey is a near-infrared photometric sky survey that covers nearly 1700 sq. deg towards the Galactic disk and bulge. It is well-suited to search for new ...

    • Small scale star formation as revealed by VVVX galactic cluster candidates 

      Borissova, J.; Kurtev, R.; Amarinho, N.; Alonso-Garcia, J.; Alegria, S. Ramirez; Bernal, S.; Medina, N.; Chene, A. -N.; Ivanov, V. D.; Lucas, P. W.; Minniti, D. (2020-10-02)
      We report a search and analysis of obscured cluster candidates in the "VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea eXtended (VVVX)" ESO Public Survey area encompassing the region between 229.4 < l <295.2 and -4.3 < b <4.4 of the ...

    • Variable Stars in the Quintuplet stellar cluster with the VVV Survey 

      Molina, C. Navarro; Borissova, J.; Catelan, M.; Alonso-García, J.; Kerins, E.; Kurtev, R.; Lucas, P. W.; Medina, N.; Minniti, D.; Dékány, I. (2016-10-21)
      The Quintuplet cluster is one of the most massive star clusters in the Milky Way, situated very close to the Galactic center. We present a new search for variable stars in the vicinity of the cluster, using the five-year ...
