Plot of Ca ii line strength (W8542 + W8662) against magnitude difference from the horizontal branch (V − VHB) for the standard clusters. In order of increasing W8542 + W8662 values at V − VHB = –1.5, the solid lines are for clusters M 15 (individual stars plotted as open 6-pt star symbols), NGC 4590 (open triangles), NGC 4372 (filled triangles), NGC 6397 (open 5-pt stars), M 10 (open circles), NGC 6752 (filled 5-pt stars), NGC 3201 (filled diamonds), M 4 ( × -symbols), M 5 (plus symbols), NGC 6171 (filled squares), M 71 (open diamonds), NGC 5927 (open squares), NGC 6528 (6-pt star symbols), and NGC 6553 (filled circles). The data for each cluster has been fit with a line of slope  − 0.627   Å/mag for V − VHB ≤ 0.2. Vertical bars on each point show the measurement uncertainty in the line strengths.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
