Open cluster candidates in the VVVX area: VVVX CL 076 and CL 077

Minniti, D.; Chené, A. -N.; Borissova, J. +6 more

We are reporting some basic parameters of two newly discovered clusters, VVVX CL076 and CL077, recently discovered in the galactic disk area covered by the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea eXtended (VVVX) ESO Public Survey. The preliminary analysis shows that both clusters are young and relatively close to the Sun.

Zooming out: what a broader view is telling us about stellar and substellar conglomerates

Peña Ramírez, K.

Measuring the distributions of ages and masses of low-mass stars and substellar sources in different young environments requires a thorough census of this specific population. Typically, studies have searched for defined conglomerate members using signatures of youth (variability, emission lines, infrared (IR) excess emission, X-ray emission), pro…
