TL;DR: The VVV survey covers the Milky Way bulge and an adjacent section of the disk, and one of the principal objectives is to search for new star clusters within previously unreachable obscured parts of the Galaxy as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rodolfo H. Barbá,Alexandre Roman-Lopes,J. L. Nilo Castellón,V. Firpo,Dante Minniti,Philip W. Lucas,Jim Emerson,Maren Hempel,M. Soto,M. Soto,R. K. Saito +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed a systematic and careful scan of the JH K s images of the Galactic plane section of the VVV survey and reported the discovery of 493 new infrared star cluster candidates.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the first ultracool dwarf discoveries from the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) Large Area Survey Early Data Release (LAS EDR), in particular the discovery of T dwarfs which are fainter and more distant than those found using the 2MASS and SDSS surveys.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extended High Circular Polarization in the Orion Massive Star Forming Region: Implications for the Origin of Homochirality in the Solar System
T. Fukue,Motohide Tamura,Ryo Kandori,Nobuhiko Kusakabe,J. H. Hough,Jeremy Bailey,Douglas C. B. Whittet,Philip W. Lucas,Yasushi Nakajima,Jun Hashimoto +9 more
TL;DR: If the authors' solar system formed in a massive star-forming region and was irradiated by net circularly polarized radiation, then enantiomeric excesses could have been induced, through asymmetric photochemistry, in the parent bodies of the meteorites and subsequently delivered to Earth and then played a role in the development of biological homochirality on Earth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards Precise Ages and Masses of Free Floating Planetary Mass Brown Dwarfs
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a survey of the current state of the art in the field of astronomy and space sciences, focusing on the use of the RAS in astronomy applications.
