Searching for Faint Comoving Companions to the α Centauri system in the VVV Survey Infrared Images
(2017-12-21)
The VVV survey has observed the southern disk of the Milky Way in the near infrared, covering 240 deg$^{2}$ in the $ZYJHK_S$ filters. We search the VVV Survey images in a $\sim$19 deg$^{2}$ field around $\alpha$ Centauri, ...
Extreme infrared variables from UKIDSS - II. an end-of-survey catalogue of eruptive YSOs and unusual stars
(2017-12-11)
We present a catalogue of 618 high-amplitude infrared variable stars (1 < ΔK < 5 mag) detected by the two widely separated epochs of 2.2 μm data in the UKIDSS Galactic plane survey, from searches covering ∼1470 deg2. Most ...
A population of eruptive variable protostars in VVV
(2017-03-01)
We present the discovery of 816 high amplitude infrared variable stars (Delta Ks >1 mag) in 119 deg^2 of the Galactic midplane covered by the Vista Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey. Almost all are new discoveries ...
Infrared spectroscopy of eruptive variable protostars from VVV
(2017-03-01)
In a companion work (Paper I) we detected a large population of highly variable Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) in the Vista Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey, typically with class I or flat spectrum spectral energy ...
VVV High proper motion stars I. The catalogue of bright Ks stars
(2017-01-01)
Knowledge of the stellar content near the Sun is important for a broad range of topics ranging from the search for planets to the study of Milky Way structure. The most powerful method for identifying potentially nearby ...
