ESO 280-SC06: a new globular cluster in the Galaxy.

ORTOLANI S., BICA E. and BARBUY B.

Abstract (from CDS):

By means of VI CCD photometry we identify a new globular cluster in the Galaxy: ESO 280-SC06. The images and Colour Magnitude Diagrams indicate that we are dealing with a sparsely populated globular cluster, showing a compact core. The cluster is located in Ara, projected at only 12.6° from the plane, and appears to be metal poor ([Fe/H]≃-1.8). We derive a reddening E(B-V)=0.07 and a distance from the Sun d☉=21.9kpc. It is a halo globular cluster on the opposite side of the Galaxy.
