Galaxies: Globular Clusters: Terzan 3, Ic 1276, Hr Diagram

Scientific paper

{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 dsun ~ 6.5 kpc, and IC 1276 at dsun ~ 4.0 kpc. 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. } Observations collected at the European Southern Observatory - ESO, Chile.
