Revisited parameters for the twin bulge globular clusters NGC 6528 and NGC 6553

S. Ortolani, S. O. Souza, D. Nardiello +2

NGC 6528 and NGC 6553 are among the most metal-rich globular clusters in the Galactic bulge. They represent the upper end of the chemical enrichment in the Galaxy, and can inform o…
