    A Search for EHB Pulsators in the Globular Cluster NGC 6752
    (2007) Catelan , Marcio; Prieto, G. E.; Zoccali, M.; Weidner, C.; Stetson, P. B.; Moni Bidin, C.; Altmann, M.; Smith, H. A.; Pritzl, B. J.; Borissova, J.; de Medeiros, J. R.
    We describe the status of a project whose main goal is to detect variability along the extreme horizontal branch of the globular cluster NGC 6752. Based on Magellan 6.5-m data, preliminary light curves are presented for some candidate variables. By combining our time-series data, we also produce a deep CMD of unprecedented quality for the cluster which reveals a remarkable lack of main sequence binaries, possibly pointing to a low primordial binary fraction....

    A SUBMILLIMETER STUDY OF THE IR DUST BUBBLE S 21 AND ITS ENVIRONS
    (UNIV NACIONAL AUTONOMA MEXICO, INST DE ASTRONOMIA, 2017) Cappa, C. E.; Duronea, N. U.; Vasquez, J.; Rubio, M.; Firpo, V.; Lopez Caraballo, C. H.; Borissova, J.
    Based on the molecular emission in the (CO)-C-12(2-1) and (CO)-C-13(2-1) lines, and on the continuum emission in the MIR and FIR towards the S 21 IR dust bubble, we analyze the physical characteristics of the gas and dust linked to the nebula and the presence of young stellar objects (YSOs) in its environs. The line emission reveals a clumpy molecular shell, 1.4 pc in radius, encircling S 21. The total molecular mass in the shell amounts to 2900 M-circle dot and the original ambient density, 2.1 x10(3) cm(-3), indicating that the bubble is evolving in a high density interstellar medium. The image at 24 mu m shows warm dust inside the bubble, while the emission in the range 250 to 870 mu m reveals cold dust in its outskirts, coincident with the molecular gas. The detection of radio continuum emission indicates that the bubble is a compact Hii region. A search for YSOs using photometric criteria allowed to identify many candidates projected onto the molecular clumps. We analize if the collect and collapse process has triggered a new generation of stars.

    Estudio infrarrojo de cúmulos inmersos en l = 345°
    (2011) Baume, G.; Feinstein, C.; Borissova, J.; Kurtev, R.; Chené, A. -N.; Moni Bidin, C.; Mauro, F.; Bonatto, C.; Bica, E.; Clarke, J. R. A.; Catelan, Márcio; Geisler, D.; Minniti, D.; Lucas, P. W.
    We have studied several embedded star clusters located in the fourth quad- rant of the Galactic plane (l 345 ; b +1.5 ). Data involves photometry and infrared spectroscopy (bands JHK and low dispersion respectively). This analysis has yielded a preliminary estimate of the fundamental param- eters of these objects and the behavior of the interstellar medium in this Galactic direction. FULL TEXT IN SPANISH...

    Investigando cúmulos estelares masivos con el VVV

    Preliminary results are presented for the study of infrared data of three mas- sive stellar clusters. Have been combined photometric observations (JHK; VVV project = Vista Variables in the Vía Láctea) and spectroscopic (follow- up) observations of the brightest stars in these clusters. In this way we have been able to refine the values of distance, reddening, age and masses of the involved objects. FULL TEXT IN SPANISH...

    Large-amplitude periodic outbursts and long-period variables in the VVV VIRAC2-β data base
    (2022) Guo, Zhen; Lucas, P. W.; Smith, L. C.; Clarke, C.; Contreras Peña, C.; Bayo, A.; Briceño, C.; Elias, J.; Kurtev, R. G.; Borissova, J.; Alonso-García, J.; Minniti, D.; Catelan, Márcio; Nikzat, F.; Morris, C.; Miller, N.
    The VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey obtained near-infrared photometry towards the Galactic bulge and the southern disc plane for a decade (2010-2019). We designed a modified Lomb-Scargle method to search for large-amplitude ($\Delta K_{s, 2-98{{\ \rm per\ cent}}}$ > 1.5 mag) mid to long-term periodic variables (P> 10 d) in the 2nd version of VVV Infrared Astrometric Catalogue (VIRAC2-β). In total, 1520 periodic sources were discovered, including 59 candidate periodic outbursting young stellar objects (YSOs), based on the unique morphology of the phase-folded light curves, proximity to Galactic H II regions and mid-infrared colours. Five sources are spectroscopically confirmed as accreting YSOs. Both fast-rise/slow-decay and slow-rise/fast-decay periodic outbursts were found, but fast-rise/slow-decay outbursts predominate at the highest amplitudes. The multiwavelength colour variations are consistent with a variable mass accretion process, as opposed to variable extinction. The cycles are likely to be caused by dynamical perturbations from stellar or planetary companions within the circumstellar disc. An additional search for periodic variability amongst YSO candidates in published Spitzer-based catalogues yielded a further 71 candidate periodic accretors, mostly with lower amplitudes. These resemble cases of pulsed accretion but with unusually long periods and greater regularity. The majority of other long-period variables are pulsating dusty Miras with smooth and symmetric light curves. We find that some Miras have redder W3 - W4 colours than previously thought, most likely due to their surface chemical compositions....

    Massive open star clusters using the VVV survey. III. A young massive cluster at the far edge of the Galactic bar
    (2014) Ramírez Alegría, S.; Borissova, J.; Chené, A. N.; O'Leary, E.; Amigo, P.; Minniti, D.; Saito, R. K.; Geisler, D.; Kurtev, R.; Hempel, M.; Gromadzki, M.; Clarke, J. R. A.; Negueruela, I.; Marco, A.; Fierro, C.; Bonatto, C.; Catelan, Márcio
    Context. Young massive clusters are key to map the Milky Way's structure, and near-infrared large area sky surveys have contributed strongly to the discovery of new obscured massive stellar clusters. Aims: We present the third article in a series of papers focused on young and massive clusters discovered in the VVV survey. This article is dedicated to the physical characterization of VVV CL086, using part of its OB-stellar population. Methods: We physically characterized the cluster using JHKS near-infrared photometry from ESO public survey VVV images, using the VVV-SkZ pipeline, and near-infrared K-band spectroscopy, following the methodology presented in the first article of the series. Results: Individual distances for two observed stars indicate that the cluster is located at the far edge of the Galactic bar. These stars, which are probable cluster members from the statistically field-star decontaminated CMD, have spectral types between O9 and B0 V. According to our analysis, this young cluster (1.0 Myr < age < 5.0 Myr) is located at a distance of 11+5-6 kpc, and we estimate a lower limit for the cluster total mass of (2.8+1.6-1.4) · 103 M⊙. It is likely that the cluster contains even earlier and more massive stars. Based on observations taken within the ESO VISTA Public Survey VVV (programme ID 179.B-2002), and with ISAAC, VLT, ESO (programme 087.D-0341A).Near-IR photometry of the most probable cluster members is only available at the CDS via anonymous ftp to http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (ftp://130.79.128.5) or via http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/qcat?J/A+A/564/L9...
