UFTI: the 0.8 - 2.5 μm fast track imager for the UK infrared telescope

TL;DR: UFTI as mentioned in this paper is based around a 1k Rockwell Hawaii detector and a LSR Astrocam controller and uses the new Mauna Kea optimized J,H,K filter set along with I and Z broad-band filters and several narrow-band line filters.
Journal ArticleDOI
New evidence supporting membership for TW nor in Lyngå 6 and the centaurus spiral arm

TL;DR: The putative association between the classical Cepheid TW Nor and the open cluster Lyng??6 has generated considerable debate in the literature as discussed by the authors, and new JHKs photometry in tandem with existing radial velocities for Lyng?6 stars implies cluster membership for TW Nor.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, a photometric search aimed at discovering cool brown dwarfs in the Southern sky imaged at infrared wavelengths by the VISTA and the Wide Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) satellite mission is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transverse kinematics of the Galactic bar-bulge from VVV and Gaia
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyse the kinematics of the Galactic bar-bulge using proper motions from the ESO public survey Vista Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) and the second Gaia data release.
Journal ArticleDOI
