Multiple Populations in Globular Clusters - The Spectroscopic View
Abstract
I review the evidence supporting and characterizing multiple populations within globular clusters (GCs) based on spectroscopy, i.e. on abundance variations within the stellar population of an individual GC, which dates back to almost 40 years ago. I discuss some of my recent work in this area.
