    A search for OB associations near southern long-period Cepheids. V. AQ Puppis and V620 Puppis 
    Turner, David Gerald, 1945-; van den Bergh, S.; Younger, P. F.; Majaess, Daniel J.; Pedreros, M. H.; Berdnikov, L. N. (IOP Publishing Limited, 2012-12)
    A photometric UBV survey is presented for 610 stars in a region surrounding the Cepheid AQ Puppis and centered southwest of the variable, based upon photoelectric measures for 14 stars and calibrated iris photometry of ...

    Star formation near Berkeley 59: embedded protostars 
    Majaess, Daniel J.; Rosvick, J. M. (American Astronomical Society, 2013-12)
    A group of suspected protostars in a dark cloud northwest of the young (∼2 Myr) cluster Berkeley 59 and two sources in a pillar south of the cluster have been studied in order to determine their evolutionary stages and ...

    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 ...
