Extinction ratios in the inner Galaxy as revealed by the VVV survey
(2017-11-01)
Interstellar extinction towards the Galactic Center is large and significantly differential. Its reddening and dimming effects in red clump stars in the Galactic Bulge can be exploited to better constrain the extinction ...
Characterization of the VVV Survey RR Lyrae Population across the Southern Galactic Plane
(2017-03-27)
Deep near-IR images from the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) Survey were used to search for RR Lyrae stars in the Southern Galactic plane. A sizable sample of 404 RR Lyrae of type ab stars was identified across a ...
FSR 1716: A new Milky Way Globular Cluster confirmed using VVV RR Lyrae stars
(2017-03-24)
We use deep multi-epoch near-IR images of the VISTA Variables in the V\'ia L\'actea (VVV) Survey to search for RR Lyrae stars towards the Southern Galactic plane. Here we report the discovery of a group of RR Lyrae stars ...
