    • The VMC survey I. Strategy and first data 

      Cioni, M-R.L.; Clementini, G.; Girardi, L.; Guandalini, R.; Gullieuszik, M.; Miszalski, B.; Moretti, M.I.; Ripepi, V.; Rubele, S.; Bagheri, G.; Bekki, K.; Cross, N.J.G.; de Blok, W.J.G.; de Grijs, R.; Emerson, J.P.; Evans, C.J.; Gibson, B.; Gonzales-Solares, E.; Groenewegen, M.A.T.; Irwin, M.J.; Ivanov, V.D.; Lewis, J.; Marconi, M.; Marquette, J-B.; Mastropietro, C.; Moore, B.; Napiwotzki, R.; Naylor, T.; Oliveira, J.M.; Read, M.; Sutorius, E.; van Loon, J.T.; Wilkinson, M.I.; Wood, P.R. (2011-03)
      Context: The new VISual and Infrared Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) has started operations. Over its first five years it will be collecting data for six public surveys, one of which is the near-infrared YJK(s) VISTA survey ...

    • The VMC survey II : A multi-wavelength study of LMC planetary nebulae and their mimics 

      Miszalski, Brent; Napiwotzki, Ralf; Cioni, M-R.L.; Groenewegen, M.A.T.; Oliveira, J.M.; Udalski, A. (2011)
      The VISTA Magellanic Cloud (VMC) survey is assembling a deep, multi-epoch atlas of Y JKs photometry across the Magellanic Clouds. Prior to the VMC survey only the brightest Magellanic Cloud PNe (MCPNe) were accessible at ...

    • The VMC survey III : Mass-loss rates and luminosities of LMC AGB stars 

      Gullieuszik, M.; Groenewegen, M.A.T.; Cioni, M-R.L.; de Grijs, R.; van Loon, J. Th; Girardi, L.; Ivanov, V.D.; Oliveira, J.M.; Emerson, J.P.; Guandalini, R. (2012-01)
      Context. Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars are major contributors to both the chemical enrichment of the interstellar medium and the integrated light of galaxies. Despite its importance, the AGB is one of the least ...

    • The VMC survey VI : Quasars behind the Magellanic system 

      Cioni, M-R.L.; Kamath, D.; Wood, P.R.; Rubele, S.; Van Loon, J.T.; Emerson, J.P.; Gibson, B. K.; Groenewegen, M.A.T.; Ivanov, V.D.; Miszalski, B.; Ripepi, V. (2013-01)
      Context. The number and spatial distribution of confirmed quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) behind the Magellanic system is limited. This undermines their use as astrometric reference objects for different types of studies. ...

    • The VMC survey: IV : the LMC star formation history and disk geometry from four VMC tiles 

      Rubele, S.; Kerber, L.O.; Girardi, L.; Cioni, M-R.L.; Marigo, P.; Zaggia, S.; Bekki, K.; de Grijs, R.; Emerson, J.P.; Groenewegen, M.A.T.; Gullieuszik, M.; Ivanov, V.D.; Miszalski, Brent; Oliveira, J.M.; Tatton, B.; van Loon, J.T. (2012-01)
      We derive the star formation history (SFH) for several regions of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), using deep near-infrared data from the VISTA near-infrared YJK s survey of the Magellanic system (VMC). The regions include ...
