Magellanic Cloud investigations-IV. The LMC blue globular cluster NGC i850
Abstract
A B, V photometric investigation of the Large Magellanic Cloud blue globular cluster NGC I has been carried out. The study extends to V = i 8. The cluster shows a strong blue main sequence and extensive numbers of evolved stars at both red and intermediate colours. The cluster appears to have an age close to 3 x io7 yr with turn-off point near eight solar masses. The evolutionary pattern conforms with theory and empirical studies of the somewhat older cluster NGC i866.
