IC 10: More evidence that it is a blue compact dwarf
We present optical spectroscopy of Hii regions in the Local Group galaxy IC 10 and UBVR photometry of foreground stars in three fields towards this galaxy. From these data, we find that the…

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 via lactea
Context. The ESO public survey VISTA variables in the V�a L�ctea (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…

A population of eruptive variable protostars in VVV
We present the discovery of 816 high-amplitude infrared variable stars (?Ks > 1 mag) in 119 deg2 of the Galactic mid-plane covered by the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey. Almost all…

Infrared spectroscopy of eruptive variable protostars from VVV
In a companion work (Paper I), we detected a large population of highly variable Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) in the Vista Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey, typically with class I or flat…

DENIS J081730.0−615520: AN OVERLOOKED MID-T DWARF IN THE SOLAR NEIGHBORHOOD
Recent wide-field near-infrared surveys have uncovered a large number of cool brown dwarfs (BDs), extending the temperature sequence down to less than 500 K and constraining the faint end of the…

New galactic star clusters discovered in the VVV survey. Candidates projected on the inner disk and bulge
Context. VISTA Variables in the V´oa Lactea (VVV) is one of the six ESO Public Surveys operating on the new 4-meter Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). VVV is scanning the…

Red giant branch stars as probes of stellar populations. II. Properties of the newly discovered globular cluster GLIMPSE-C01
Deep near infrared photometry of the newly discovered Galactic globular Cluster GLIMPSE-C01 is reported. We derived for the first time the metal abundance of this object from the slope of the RGB:…

Possible astrometric discovery of a substellar companion to the closest binary brown dwarf system WISE J104915.57–531906.1
Using FORS2 on the Very Large Telescope, we have astrometrically monitored over a period of two months the two components of the brown dwarf system WISE J104915.57-531906.1, the closest one to the…

A near-infrared catalogue of the Galactic novae in the VVV survey area
Context. Near-infrared data on classical novae contain useful information about the ejected gas mass and the thermal emission by dust formed during eruption, and provide independent methods to…
