    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...

    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...

    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...

    New Galactic star cluster candidates discovered in the VVV Survey within 10 degrees around the Galactic center

    We report the discovery of 57 new infrared open cluster candidates and stel- lar groups in the inner 10 degrees around the Galactic center. The newly dis- covered candidates are found by visual inspection of near infrared images observed under the Vista Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) ESO Large Public Survey. The preliminary analysis shows that approximately 1/3 of them are younger than 10 Myrs....

    The Mass of the Most Massive Star in Stellar Clusters Determined from 25 Million MASSCLEAN Monte Carlo Simulations
    (2013) Popescu, Bogdan; Hanson, M. M.; Borissova, J.; Kurtev, R.; Ivanov, V.; Larsen, S. S.; Catelan, Marcio; Minniti, D.; Lucas, P.
    Is there a maximum universal stellar mass, or might the maximum stellar mass in a cluster be tied to the mass of the associated cluster? Direct measurements of the maximum stellar mass of hundreds of young stellar clusters would help us to answer this fundamental question. However, such information does not presently exist. We are mindful that the most massive star in a stellar cluster can have a strong influence on the integrated magnitudes and colors of their host stellar cluster, especially clusters in the low-mass range. Thinking strategically, this color variation provides us with a mechanism for divulging the properties of that most massive star. We performed 25 million MASSCLEAN Monte Carlo simulations of stellar clusters in the 200-1000 M_Sun range in the U, B, and V bands. These simulations were then used to estimate the mass of the most massive star for 40 young, low-mass LMC clusters. In a similar way, the integrated colors and magnitudes in VISTA's Z, Y, J, H, and Ks bands can also be used to estimate the mass of the most massive star in VISTA-identified stellar clusters. Is the IMF for one hundred young 1000 solar mass clusters the same at the high end as ten young 10,000 solar mass clusters? Using the VISTA's clusters, we intend to answer the question, "Does the lower mass of a stellar cluster artificially steepen the high-mass IMF?"....
