Abstract:
The estimated total number of Milky Way globulars is 160±20. The
question of whether there are any more undiscovered globular clusters
in the Milky Way is particularly relevant with advances in near and
mid-IR instrumentation.
This investigation is a part of a long-term project to search the
inner Milky Way for hidden star clusters and to study them in detail.
GLIMPSE-C02 (G02) is one of these objects, situated near the Galactic
plane (l=14.129°, b=-0.644°).
Our analysis is based on SOFI/NTT JHKs imaging and low resolution
(R∼1400) spectroscopy of three bright cluster red giants in the K
atmospheric window. We derived the metal abundance by analysis of
these spectra and from the slope of the RGB.
