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 A_Ks foreground dust extinction map is presented for the Galactic disc area within 295° ≲ l ≲ 350°, −1.0° ≲ b ≲ +1.0°. At some longitudes 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 ...

Context. The ESO Public Survey “VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea” (VVV) provides deep multi-epoch infrared observations for an unprecedented 562 sq. degrees of the Galactic bulge, and adjacent regions of the disk. Nearly ...
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 ...
