Poster title: VVV Survey and Milky Way Globular Clusters

Poster abstract: The VVV NIR Survey has performed time-domain observations in the Ks-band for 6 
years and provides an atlas of 562 sq. deg. of the sky in 5 wavebands (ZYJHKs). The VVV data 
outcome offer a unique dataset to map the stellar populations deeply embedded into highly obscured 
regions. The recent discovery of a significant number of globular clusters (GCs) distributed in 
different regions of our Galaxy, achieved by using the VVV data, evidence the incompleteness of the 
known GC population. The new discoveries are important and have statistic impact on the globally 
known properties of these objects. In this presentation, we show our latest results of the analysis of a 
selected sample from the newly discovered low luminosity GCs in the most obscured regions of our 
Galaxy. We also discuss the requirements or tests which were taken into account to confirm their 
nature as GCs.
