Analysis estimates key parameters for several globular clusters, indicating significance in stellar evolution models.

This research aims to estimate and update key parameters for various Galactic globular clusters using advanced data sets and isochrones.
Fitting colour-magnitude diagrams from Hubble Space Telescope and Gaia data.
Using isochrones from the Dartmouth Stellar Evolution Database and Bag of Stellar Tracks.
Cross-identifying data from multiple sources to accurately select cluster members.
Estimated metallicities for clusters range from -2.28 to -1.26 dex.
Ages were found between 10.33 to 13.16 Gyr, indicating significant evolutionary timelines.
Confirmed that variations in metallicity, age, and mass-loss efficiency account for different horizontal branch morphologies in clusters.

Gontcharov et al. (2026) studied this question.
