Ages for globular clusters in the halo

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We have used the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 on the Hubble Space Telescope to obtain photometry of the outer halo globular clusters Palomar 3, Palomar 4, and Eridanus.

Description

These three are classic examples of the "second-parameter" anomaly because of their red horizontal-branch morphologies in combination with their low-to-intermediate metallicities. Our color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) in V, V - I reach V_lim_ {=~} 27.0, clearly delineating the subgiant and turnoff regions and about 3 mag of the unevolved main sequences.
