Spectroscopy of a globular cluster in the Local Group dwarf irregular NGC 6822.

STRADER J., BRODIE J.P. and HUCHRA J.P.

Abstract (from CDS):

We present low-resolution Keck spectroscopy for the globular cluster (GC) HVIII in the Local Group dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822. We find the metallicity of the cluster to be [Fe/H]=-1.58±0.28 and the age of the cluster to be 3-4 Gyr, slightly older than but consistent with previous age estimates. HVIII seems to be more metal-poor than most intermediate-age GCs in the Local Group, and appears most similar to the anomalous Small Magellanic Cloud clusters Lindsay 113 and NGC 339.
