On an apparent discontinuity in the properties of giants of the disk population.
Abstract
The finding by Hartwiek & Hesser that giant stars in 47 Tucanae are 1m.5 brighter at given B-V than field giants of similar metal content may result from errors in the distance modulus of 47 Tucanae and in the absolute magnitudes adopted for the field stars.
