Stars in the direction of the galactic center

Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

. Analysis of the colors and magnitudes of 300 stars in a direction 15' north of M22 is made. The results indi- cate that within this volume of space, which passes within 2.3 kpc of the galactic center, the majority of redder stars are less luminous than globular-cluster giants of the same color index. These stars appear to be nearer in luminosity to old galactic-cluster giants.
