Abstract
The VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey is an ESO Infrared Large Public survey (Minniti+ 2010NewA...15..433M & Saito+ 2012A&A...537A.107S) that uses the 4m VISTA telescope located at Cerro Paranal Observatory, Chile. The survey was designed for mapping 562deg2 in the Galactic bulge and the southern disk in five near-infrared broadband filters --Z(λeff=0.8um), Y (λeff=1.02um), H (λeff=1.25um), J (λeff=1.64um), and Ks (λeff=2.14um-- with a time coverage spanning 5yr between 2010 and 2015 in the Ks band). To test our method, we choose the first two VVV disk tiles, namely d001 and d002, due to their low crowding and interstellar reddening when compared to the rest of the VVV disk area.
The preliminary reduced images were retrieved from the VISTA Science Archive (VSA) database (Cross+ 2012A&A...548A.119C). (3 data files).- Publication:
