Description (Abstract):
We have obtained spectra of 85 giants selected from IR photometry in
the fields of several very reddened galactic clusters. Radial
velocities are measured to check membership. We measure the strength
of several Fe and Mg spectral feature s, presenting a new calibration
of metallicity based on the location of the giants in the
Mg+Fe5270+Fe5335 vs (J-K)0 diagram. Using this calibration we compute
accurate mean metallicities for the clusters studied. Reddening
values which better fit the spectroscopic and photometric data are
also derived. Pal 6 turns out to be the most metal rich cluster of our
sample, with [Fe/H]=0.2±0.3.
