Infrared studies of globular clusters near the Galactic Center.
Abstract
Infrared photometry and raster maps have been obtained for three clusters within 6 deg of the galactic center: UKS 1751-241, Liller 1, and Terzan 2. These data support the contention that all three of these sources are globular clusters; provide estimates of the interstellar extinction to them, and allow the determination of structural properties, including core radius, central surface brightness, and core mass.
