The White Dwarf Luminosity Function of 47 Tuc
Abstract
We present HST observations of the white dwarf luminosity function of the globular cluster 47 Tuc, as well as a comparison with white dwarf cooling models to constrain the age. The resulting constraint is compared to similar measurements using the Main Sequence Turnoff and the white dwarf measurements in M4 and NGC6397.
