Photometry of VVV CL041 cluster

Nearly 150 new open clusters and cluster candidates have been discovered in this survey. We present the fourth article in a series of papers focussed on young and massive clusters discovered in the VVV survey.

This article is dedicated to the cluster VVV CL041, which contains a new very massive star candidate, WR 62-2. Following the methodology presented in the first paper of the series, wide-field, deep JHKs VVV observations, combined with new infrared spectroscopy, are employed to constrain fundamental parameters (distance, reddening, mass, age) of VVV CL041.
