UBV photometry of NGC 6494 and metallicity condiderations.
Abstract
UBV photometric observations of 176 stars in the galactic cluster NGC 6494 are presented and analyzed. The effect of a gas poor environment on the metal abundance of NGC 6494 is studied. It is determined that the metallicity of NGC 6494, which has a delta(U - B) value = + 0.02, is not affected by the interarm region in which it dwelled.
