A Wide Metallicity Range for Gyr-old Stars in the Nuclear Star Cluster

Brian Thorsbro, Rebecca Forsberg, Georges Kordopatis +6

We report metallicities for three Gyr-old stars in the Milky Way nuclear star cluster (NSC) using high-resolution near-infrared spectroscopy. We derive effective temperatures…
