Scientific paper

We have obtained high spatial resolution images of the recently discovered galactic globular cluster GLIMPSE-C01 using the Palomar Laser Guide Star Adaptive Optics system. The delivered image full-width at half maximum using the laser guide star was 0.15", allowing the central region of the cluster to be resolved in both H and K bands. We present color-magnitude and structural analyses of the cluster. We also demonstrate that the loop-like structure in the south-west of the cluster identified by Kobulnicky et al. (2005) is formed by a chance alignment of stars, rather than a nova or planetary nebula shell.
