Terzan 3 and IC 1276 (Palomar 7): Two metal-rich bulge globular clusters uncovered.

BARBUY B., ORTOLANI S. and BICA E.

Abstract (from CDS):

Colour magnitude diagrams of Terzan 3 and IC 1276 are presented for the first time. The morphology of the horizontal and red giant branches indicates that they are metal rich ([Fe/H]≃-0.7). They are considerably reddened, with E(B-V)=0.72 (Terzan 3) and E(B-V)=1.16 (IC 1276). Terzan 3 is located at a distance from the Sun d☉≃6.5kpc, and IC 1276 at d☉≃4.0kpc. Both clusters are in the Galactic Bulge. The photometries attain the main sequence turnoff regions, and a discussion of ages is given as compared to other bulge and halo globular clusters.
