Knowledge of the stellar content near the Sun is important for a broad range of topics ranging from the search for planets to the study of Milky Way (MW) structure. The most powerful method for identifying potentially nearby stars is proper motion (PM) surveys. All old optical surveys avoid, or a...

VVV high proper motion stars – I. The catalogue of bright KS ≤ 13.5 stars
The 'VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea eXtended (VVVX)' ESO Public Survey is a nearinfrared photometric sky survey that covers nearly 1700 deg2 towards the Galactic disc and bulge. It is well-suited to search for newopen clusters, hidden behind dust and gas. The pipeline processed and calibrated ...

We present VIRAC version 1, a near-infrared proper motion and parallax catalogue of the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey for 312 587 642 unique sources averaged across all overlapping pawprint and tile images covering 560 deg2 of the bulge of the MilkyWay and southern disc. The cata...
