Scientific paper

Metal-rich bulge globular clusters are compared with 47 Tuc in the M(Io) versus (V - I)o diagram. In addition to the expected red color shift and fading for increasing metallicity, the bulge clusters present a morphological change in the red giant branch which bends owing to blanketing effects. It is concluded that metal-rich population components similar to those of the star clusters NGC 6528 and NGC 6553 and Terzan 1 are below the observational cutoff.
