L.; Alonso-García, J.; Leone, G.; Morelli, L.; Haikala, L.; Firpo, V.; Lucas, P.; Emerson, J.P.; Moni Bidin, C.; Geisler, D.; Saito, R.K.; Gurovich, S.; Contreras Ramos, R.; Rejkuba, M.; Barbieri, M.; Roman-Lopes, A.; Hempel, M.; Alonso, M. V.; Baravalle, L. D.; Borissova, J.; Kurtev, R.; Milla, F. (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2019-09-11)
    An improved high-resolution and deep AKs foreground dust extinction map is presented for the Galactic disc area within 295° ≲ l ≲ 350°, −1.0° ≲ b ≲ +1.0°. At some longitudes the ...

    Investigating potential planetary nebula/cluster pairs 
    Moni Bidin, C.; Majaess, Daniel J.; Bonatto, C.; Mauro, F.; Turner, David Gerald, 1945-; Geisler, D.; Chene, A. -N.; Gormaz-Matamala, A. C.; Borissova, J.; Kurtev, R. G. (EDP Sciences, 2014-01)
    Context. Fundamental parameters characterizing the end-state of intermediate-mass stars may be constrained by discovering planetary nebulae (PNe) in open clusters (OCs). Cluster membership may be exploited to establish the ...

    Massive open star clusters using the VVV survey I. Presentation of the data and description of the approach 
    Majaess, Daniel J.; Chene, A.-N.; Borissova, J.; Clarke, J. R. A.; Bonatto, C.; Bidin, C. Moni; Sale, S. E.; Mauro, F.; Kurtev, R.; Baume, G. (EDP Sciences for European Southern Observatory, 2012-09)
    Context. The ESO Public Survey “VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea” (VVV) provides deep multi-epoch infrared observations for unprecedented 562 sq. degrees of the Galactic bulge, and adjacent regions of the disk. Aims. The ...

    New galactic star clusters discovered in the VVV survey. Candidates projected on the inner disk and bulge 
    Majaess, Daniel J.; Borissova, J.; Chene, A.-N.; Ramirez Alegria, S.; Sharma, S.; Clarke, J. R. A.; Kurtev, R.; Negueruela, I.; Marco, A.; Amigo, P. (EDP Sciences, 2014)
    Context. VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) is one of six ESO Public Surveys using the 4 meter Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). The VVV survey covers the Milky Way bulge and an adjacent ...

    Strengthening the open cluster distance scale via VVV photometry 
    Majaess, Daniel J.; Turner, David Gerald, 1945-; Bidin, C. Moni; Geisler, D.; Borissova, J.; Minniti, D.; Bonatto, C.; Gieren, W.; Carraro, G.; Kurtev, R. (EDP Sciences, 2012-01)
    Approximately 14% of known Galactic open clusters possess absolute errors ≤20% as evaluated from n ≥ 3 independent distance estimates, and the statistics for age estimates are markedly worse. That impedes such diverse ...

    The VVV Survey reveals classical Cepheids tracing a young and thin stellar disk across the Galaxy's bulge 
    Dekany, I.; Minniti, D.; Majaess, Daniel J.; Zoccali, M.; Hajdu, G.; Alonso-Garcia, J.; Catelan, M.; Gieren, W.; Borissova, J. (American Astronomical Society, 2015-10-20)
    Solid insight into the physics of the inner Milky Way is key to understanding our Galaxy’s evolution, but extreme dust obscuration has historically hindered efforts to map the area along the Galactic mid-plane. New ...
