The VVV and VVVX survey: The inner Milky Way in the Near-Infrared
For almost exactly 13 years the combined VVV and VVVX survey collected data of the Milky Way Bulge and its adjacent Disk, in order to study the structure and stellar populations. Now, with the completion of both surveys, and in combination with other NIR programs we are just beginning to mine that treasure trove of data. Here I present some of the questions tackled by both surveys, and how the the data- especially their completeness, affect the study of the inner Milky Way.
