The Galactic Bulge can uniquely be studied from large samples of individual stars and is
therefore of prime importance for understanding the stellar population structure of bulges in …

The Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) is the 4-m wide-field
survey telescope at ESO's Paranal Observatory, equipped with the world's largest near …

Abstract The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), a public–private enterprise, is a new time-
domain survey employing a dedicated camera on the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt telescope …

Abstract The Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) carries out its primary
planetary defense mission by surveying about 13,000 deg 2 at least four times per night. The …

We construct a large set of dynamical models of the galactic bulge, bar and inner disk using
the Made-to-Measure method. Our models are constrained to match the red clump giant …

We present∼ 47,000 periodic variables found during the analysis of 5.4 million variable star
candidates within a 20,000 deg 2 region covered by the Catalina Surveys Data Release-1 …

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS; York et al. 2000) started observations in 1998 and has
completed three different phases. The data collected includes optical imaging of most of the …

While it is incontrovertible that the inner Galaxy contains a bar, its structure near the Galactic
plane has remained uncertain, where extinction from intervening dust is greatest. We …

We combine VI photometry from OGLE-III with VISTA Variables in The Via Lactea survey and
Two Micron All Sky Survey measurements of E (J− K s) to resolve the longstanding problem …

The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy, with physical properties inferred from various
tracers informed by the extrapolation of structures seen in other galaxies. However, the …
