The asymmetric drift, the local standard of rest, and implications from RAVE data

Golubov, O.; Just, A.; Bienayme, O.; Bland-Hawthorn, J.; Gibson, Brad K.; Grebel, E. K.; Munari, U.; Navarro, J. F.; Parker, Q.; Seabroke, G. (EDP Sciences, 2013-09)

Context. The determination of the local standard of rest (LSR), which corresponds to the measurement of the peculiar motion of the Sun based on the derivation of the asymmetric drift of stellar populations, is still a ...
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 ...
Evidence for the hierarchical formation of the galactic spheroid

West, Michael J.; Cote, Patrick; Marzke, Ronald O.; Minniti, Dante (American Astronomical Society, 2000-04)

The possibility that the Galactic spheroid was assembled from isolated, chemically distinct proto-Galactic fragments is investigated using a Monte Carlo technique designed to simulate the chemical evolution of the Galaxy ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
