Optical (I, V–I) and hybrid (I, I–K) CMDs of Terzan 5 obtained through the combined HST and MAD observations, corresponding to the FOV delimited by the black box in Figure 1. No quality cuts and differential reddening corrections are applied to these diagrams. It is worth noticing the distortion of the evolutionary sequences along the direction of the reddening vectors, indicated by the black arrows in the upper-left part of the panels. The red line corresponds to a 12 Gyr old isochrone (Bressan et al. 2012; Marigo et al. 2017) with [M/H] = −0.2 dex, E(BV) = 2.38, and μ0 = 13.87 (reference parameters from the database of Valenti et al. 2007), reddenned by adopting RV = 3.1. The dashed black lines show the same isochrone shifted by assuming RV = 2.1, 2.6, 3.6, 4.1 (from left to right). We varied E(BV) and μ0 to fit the optical (I, V–I) CMD. However, despite the remarkable broadening of the evolutionary sequences, these alternative RV values are clearly unable to match the hybrid CMD.
