Notes. Some authors fit isochrones to the full cluster, others use only parts of the cluster. The solar iron abundance values adopted by different authors vary between 7.50 to 7.67. ( * )Metallicity values reported as [M/H] instead of [Fe/H]. PHOT and SPEC imply photometric and spectroscopic measurements, respectively; if blank the value was either fixed from the literature or fitted to isochrones.
