Spectroscopic confirmation of high-amplitude eruptive YSOs and dipping giants from the VVV survey
(2024-02-01)
During the pre-main-sequence (pre-MS) evolution stage of a star, significant amounts of stellar mass are accreted during episodic accretion events, such as multidecade FUor-type outbursts. Here, we present a near-infrared ...
The most variable VVV sources: eruptive protostars, dipping giants in the Nuclear Disc and others
(2024-02-01)
We have performed a comprehensive search of a VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) data base of 9.5 yr light curves for variable sources with ΔKs ≥ 4 mag, aiming to provide a large sample of high amplitude eruptive young ...
Large amplitude periodic outbursts and long period variables in the VVV VIRAC2-$β$ database
(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 ...
VVV-WIT-01: highly obscured classical nova or protostellar collision?
(2020-03)
A search of the first Data Release of the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) Survey discovered the exceptionally red transient VVV-WIT-01 (H-Ks=5.2). It peaked before March 2010, then faded by ~9.5 mag over the following ...
