Ca Triplet Metallicities and Velocities for twelve Globular Clusters towards the Galactic Bulge

D. Geisler, M. C. Parisi, B. Dias +6

Globular clusters (GCs) are excellent tracers of the formation and early evolution of the Milky Way. The bulge GCs (BGCs) are particularly important because they can reveal vital i…
