| Abstract: |
Despite spanning a remarkable variety of properties (e.g., mass,
metallicity and horizontal branch morphology), severe and variable extinction
has often thwarted detailed analyses of the globular clusters of the Milky Way
bulge. We present results from recent and ongoing investigations of these
clusters using deep, wide-field near-infrared photometry independently, and
also in combination with, the plethora of existing photometry and
spectroscopy. The results and their homogeneity facilitate not only the
characterization of relations between cluster photometric properties and
abundances and comparison to evolutionary models, but can also corroborate and
further constrain recent results regarding the extinction law of the inner
Milky Way. |
