- ... UVES spectra
- The difference between the UVES and
GIRAFFE EWs we found for NGC 6752 spectra is larger than observed for other
GCs analyzed in this series. This difference is not simply a function of
metallicity. Inspection of the original spectra showed that this difference is
not due to the measuring procedure and that lines in spectra of stars at the
same position in the CMD may be of different strength. We think that this is
due to small but significant effects intrinsic to the GIRAFFE spectra. Our
procedure reduces to a minimum the systematic error for each GC.

- ...%
- EWs measured on moderate resolution spectra may be either
overestimated due to contribution of blends, not recognized when compiling the
line list, or underestimated, because the nominal continuum used when
extracting EWs can be lower than the real value, due to veiling from weak
lines, not recognized as such due to the low resolution of the spectrum.

- This value is somewhat different from what we derive in the present study (i.e. -1.56), but the dependence of
(V-K) on [Fe/H] is so weak that temperatures are unaffected.

with more than 15 lines measured.

AGB stars
- Very recently, Prantzos & Charbonnel (2006) suggested instead
that the Na-O anticorrelation is due to nucleosynthesis in rapidly rotating
massive stars rather than in AGB stars. While this difference would not affect
most of the present discussion, we note that the very small scatter in Fe abundances sets stringent limits on the "inefficiency'' of mixing between the
slow winds of stars in the supergiant phases and the ejecta from core-collapse
supernovae in this scenario.
