    A colour-excess extinction map of the southern Galactic disc from the VVV and GLIMPSE surveys 
    Soto, M.; Barbá, R.; Minniti, D.; Kunder, A.; Majaess, Daniel J; Nilo-Castellón, J. 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 ...

    Constraining dust extinction properties via the VVV survey 
    Majaess, Daniel J.; Turner, David Gerald, 1945-; Dékány, I.; Minniti, D.; Gieren, W. (EDP Sciences, 2016-10)
    Near-infrared color-excess and extinction ratios are essential for establishing the cosmic distance scale and probing the Galaxy, particularly when analyzing targets attenuated by significant dust. A robust determination ...

    Discovery of a pair of classical Cepheids in an invisible cluster beyond the Galactic bulge 
    Majaess, Daniel J.; Dekany, I.; Minniti, D.; Hajdu, G.; Alonso-Garcia, J.; Hempel, M.; Palma, T.; Catelan, M.; Gieren, W. (American Astronomical Society, 2015-01-20)
    We report the discovery of a pair of extremely reddened classical Cepheid variable stars located in the Galactic plane behind the bulge, using near-infrared (NIR) time-series photometry from the VISTA Variables in the Vía ...

    Milky Way demographics with the VVV survey II. Color transformations and near-infrared photometry for 136 million stars in the southern Galactic disk 
    Majaess, Daniel J.; Soto, M.; Barba, R.; Gunthardt, G.; Minniti, D.; Lucas, P.; Irwin, M.; Emerson, J. P.; Gonzalez-Solares, E.; Hempel, M. (EDP Sciences for European Southern Observatory, 2013-04)
    The new multi-epoch near-infrared VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) survey is sampling 562 deg[superscript 2] of the Galactic bulge and adjacent regions of the disk. Accurate astrometry established for the region ...

    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 ...

    VVV DR1: the first data release of the Milky Way bulge and southern plane from the near-infrared ESO public survey VISTA variables in the Vía Láctea 
    Majaess, Daniel J.; Saito, R. K.; Hempel, M.; Minniti, D.; Lucas, P. W.; Rejkuba, M.; Toledo, I.; Gonzalez, O. A.; Alonso-Garcia, J.; Irwin, M. J. (EDP Sciences for European Southern Observatory, 2012-01)
    Context. The ESO public survey VISTA variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) started in 2010. VVV targets 562 sq. deg in the Galactic bulge and an adjacent plane region and is expected to run for about five years. Aims. We ...

    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 ...
