Globular cluster abundances and what they can tell us about galaxy formation
Abstract We review the properties of globular clusters (GCs) which make them useful for studying the Galactic halo, Galactic chemical evolution and the early stages of the formation of the Milky Way. We review the evidence that GCs have a chemical inventory similar to those of halo field stars. We …
