CDROM/PASP/V109/P883 Globular Metallicity Scale. I. (Rutledge+ 1997) ================================================================================ Galactic Globular Cluster Metallicity Scale from the Ca II Triplet I. Catalog Glen A. Rutledge, James E. Hesser, Peter B. Stetson, Mario Mateo, Luc Simard, Michael Bolte, Eileen D. Friel, and Yannick Copin <1997, PASP, 109, 883> =1997PASP..109..883R ================================================================================ Abstract: We have obtained 2640 CCD spectra with resolution ~ 4 A in the region 7250-9000 A for 976 stars lying near the red giant branches in color-magnitude diagrams of 52 Galactic globular clusters. Radial velocities of ~16 km/s accuracy per star determined from the spectra are combined with other criteria to assess quantitative membership probabilities. Measurements of the equivalent widths of the infrared calcium triplet lines yield a relative metal-abundance ranking with a precision that compares favorably to other techniques. Regressions between our system and those of others are derived. Our reduction procedures are discussed in detail, and the resultant catalog of derived velocities and equivalent widths is presented. The metal abundances derived from these data will be the subject of a future paper.

The authors also included the following alternative names for some clusters: NGC 104 = 47 Tuc NGC 6273 = M 19 NGC 4590 = M 68 NGC 6637 = M 69 NGC 5904 = M 5 NGC 6681 = M 70 NGC 6093 = M 80 NGC 6717 = Pal 9 NGC 6121 = M 4 NGC 6809 = M 55 NGC 6171 = M 107 NGC 6981 = M 72 NGC 6218 = M 12 NGC 7089 = M 2 NGC 6254 = M 10 NGC 7099 = M 30 NGC 6266 = M 62 dv: Difference between the authors' calculated velocity of the star (see Section 4 of the printed paper) and the velocity given in the MWGC catalog. B-V0: Dereddened B-V color of the star determined with E(B-V) from the MWGC catalog. fp, fr, w: The f_p, f_r, and final weight, w, respectively, used in the authors' fitting technique to calculate the reduced equivalent width, W' of the the cluster. See Section 6 of the printed paper for technique, and Table 2 of the paper for W' values; the weight has been scaled in each cluster so that the highest weight star in the cluster has w = 1. Night: The nights the star was observed, where the first number indicates the observing run, and the other numbers indicate the specific night of observation. Therefore, 1-1 represents 1989 April 13, 1-2 represents 1989 April 14, ..., and 2-1 represents 1989 July 13. Notes: 0. Star not used to compute reduced EW for cluster, 1. See cluster notes in Appendix A, 2. Weak TiO present, 3. Strong TiO present, 4. Possible AGB star, 5. Possible HB star, 6. Non-cluster member based on position in CMD, 7. Crowded field, 8. Uncertain ID, 9. Star has weak Sigma Ca for V_HB - V position, 10. Star has strong Sigma C1 for V_HB - V position, 11. SK96 suggest that line strength is variable. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================================ (End) Lee Brotzman [ADS] 04-Nov-1997
