The ESO public survey VISTA Variables in the V\'ia L\'actea (VVV) surveyed the inner Galactic bulge and the adjacent southern Galactic disk from $2009-2015$. Upon its conclusion, the complementary VVV eXtended (VVVX) survey has expanded both the temp

A massive helium star with a sufficiently strong magnetic field to form a magnetar

Autor: Shenar, T., Wade, G. A., Marchant, P., Bagnulo, S., Bodensteiner, J., Bowman, D. M., Gilkis, A., Langer, N., Chene, A. -N., Oskinova, L., Van Reeth, T., Sana, H., St-Louis, N., de Oliveira, A. Soares, Todt, H., Toonen, S.

Magnetars are highly magnetized neutron stars; their formation mechanism is unknown. Hot helium-rich stars with spectra dominated by emission lines are known as Wolf-Rayet stars. We observe the binary system HD 45166 using spectropolarimetry, finding

The VVV Open Cluster Project II. Near-infrared sequences of 37 open clusters on eight-dimensional parameter space

Autor: Ramírez, K. Peña, Smith, L. C., Alegría, S. Ramírez, Chené, A. -N., González-Fernández, C., Lucas, P. W., Minniti, D.

Open clusters are key coeval structures that help us understand star formation, stellar evolution and trace the physical properties of our Galaxy. In the past years, the isolation of open clusters from the field has been heavily alleviated by the acc

Recent studies show that the inner Galactic regions host genuine bulge globular clusters, but also halo intruders, complex remnants of primordial building blocks, and objects likely accreted during major merging events. In this study we focus on the

Assessing the stellar population and the environment of an HII region on the far side of the Galaxy

Autor: Chené, A. -N., Benjamin, R. A., Alegría, S. Ramírez, Borissova, J., Kurtev, R., Bidin, C. Moni, Mauro, F., Lucas, P., Guo, Z., Smith, L. C., Gonzalez-Fernandez, C., Ivanov, V. D., Minniti, D., Anderson, L. D., Armentrout, W. P., Gonzalez, D., Herrero, A., Ramírez, K. Peña

We have investigated the stellar and interstellar content of the distant star formation region IRAS 17591-2228 (WISE HII region GAL 007.47+0.06). It is associated to a water maser, whose parallax distance is d=20.4^{+2.8} {-2.2} kpc, supported by ind
