Age and Metallicity Effects in ω Centauri: StrÖmgren Photometry at the Main-Sequence Turnoff

Age and Metallicity Effects in ω Centauri: StrÖmgren Photometry at the Main-Sequence Turnoff

We have observed (with vby filters) a field north of the core of the most massive globular cluster in our galaxy, ω Centauri. We have found a correlation of age and metallicity in a region that avoids the dense core and the inhomogeneous foreground dust emission shown by IRAS. Our …
