Description
We present the first results of an ongoing analysis of MUSE observations of the VVV-CL001 cluster. This is the first cluster discovered by the VVV, and is located at only 8 arcmin away from the known globular cluster UKS-1. The final goal is to obtain the first kinematics and metallicity study of its stellar content. Given its small projected distance from UKS-1, a similar measured radial velocity might argue in favor of the plausible scenario of these two clusters being gravitationally bound; the first known binary clusters in the Milky Way. This work is in process. We present here the analysis of radial velocity data, cluster membership for stars in the observed field, and the cluster's mean and dispersion velocity.
