BH 176 and AM-2

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We have obtained VI photometry for two low Galactic latitude star clusters: BH 176 and AM-2, using the 2.2m and the 3.5m NTT telescopes at ESO.

Description

Their VI colour-magnitude diagrams reveal that: BH 176 may be a globular cluster, or a border line object between a globular cluster and a disk cluster, showing a red horizontal branch and an extended red giant branch. We estimate E(B-V)=0.77 and d_{sun}_=13.4kpc.

AM-2 appears to be an intermediate age open cluster, for which a reddening E(B-V)=0.44 and d_{sun}_=12.4kpc are estimated. It is located in the outer regions of the Galactic disk.
