Reddening and metallicity maps of the Milky Way bulge from VVV and 2MASS - III. The first global photometric metallicity map of the Galactic bulge
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the large-scale metallicity distribution in the Galactic bulge using large spatial coverage to constrain the bulge formation scenario and derive photometric metallicities by interpolating the (J − K s)0 colors of individual red giant branch stars based on a set of globular cluster ridge lines.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors obtained high-resolution spectra of 23 ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) in the Fornax cluster with -10.4>M_V>-13.5 mag (10^6 2*10-6 M_*) have M/L ratios twice as large as GCs (M ~ 7 pc).

Bright globular clusters in NGC 5128: The missing link between young massive clusters and evolved massive objects
TL;DR: In this paper, the velocity dispersion and structural parameter correlations of a sample of bright globular clusters in the nearest giant elliptical galaxy NGC 5128 (Centaurus A) were studied.

TL;DR: In this article, a 3D extinction map for the whole VVV area with a resolution of 6′× 6′ for J −K s and H − K s using distance bins of 0.5 kpc is presented.
Low-resolution spectroscopy of main sequence stars belonging to 12 Galactic globular clusters I. CH and CN band strength variations ,
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the strengh of the CN and CH band indices, which correlate with the N and C abundances, and investigated the anti-correlation and bimodality of these indices.
