Abstract:
We present an analysis of optical and ultraviolet Hubble Space
Telescope photometry for evolved stars in the core of the distant
massive globular cluster NGC 2419. We characterize the horizontal
branch (HB) population in detail including corrections for
incompleteness on the long blue tail. The majority of the HB stars can
be identified with two main groups (one slightly bluer than the
instability strip, and the other at the extreme end of the HB). We
present a method for removing (to first-order) lifetime effects from
the distribution of HB stars to facilitate more accurate measurements
of helium abundance for clusters with blue HBs and to clarify the
distribution of stars reaching the zero-age HB.
