J/MNRAS/458/4162 Stromgren photometry of M3 (NGC5272) (Massari+, 2016) ================================================================================ Multiple stellar populations in the globular cluster M3 (NGC 5272): a Stromgren perspective. Massari D., Lapenna E., Bragaglia A., Dalessandro E., Contreras Ramos R., Amigo P. =2016MNRAS.458.4162M (SIMBAD/NED BibCode) ================================================================================ ADC_Keywords: Clusters, globular ; Photometry, uvby Keywords: techniques: photometric - stars: abundances - Hertzsprung-Russell and colour-magnitude diagrams - stars: Population II - globular clusters: general - globular clusters: individual: ngc5272 Abstract: We present Stroemgren photometry of the Galactic Globular Cluster M3 to study its multiple generations phenomenon. The use of different colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) and especially of the notoriously efficient c_y_ index allowed us to detect a double red giant branch in the cluster CMD. After decontamination from fore- and background sources, the two sequences turned out to be equally populated. The two components also show a bimodal radial distribution well corresponding to that predicted by numerical simulations for clusters living in an intermediate dynamical evolutive state and with a population with modified chemical composition that was born more centrally concentrated than the primordial. The analysis of high-resolution spectra quantitatively demonstrates that the two detected sequences correspond to the first (Na-poor) generation and the second (Na-rich) generation, thus confirming the importance of synergy between photometry and spectroscopy.
