The Composition of Warm Giants in M 71 and M 5
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 July 2016
Extract
In 1979 a disturbing controversy arose in the field of globular cluster research when Cohen (1980) and Pilachowski, Canterna, and Wallerstein (1980) announced the results of the first high dispersion studies of the composition of giants in the globular clusters M 71 and 47 Tucanae. In contrast to earlier studies, which found metallicities of typically −0.3 and −0.5 dex, these investigators obtained values of −1.3 and −1.1. Since then, many have attempted to redetermine the abundances of M 71 and 47 Tuc to explain the discrepant results. These efforts have all suffered from the absence of high signal-to-noise, high resolution spectra of stars with temperatures above 4300 K.
