Abstract

To understand globular clusters (GCs) we need to comprehend how their formation process was able to produce their abundance distribution of light elements. In particular, we need to figure out which stars imprinted the peculiar chemical signature of GCs. One of the best way is to study the light-element anti-correlations in a large sample of GCs, analysed homogeneously. As part of our spectroscopic survey of GCs with FLAMES, we present here the results of our study of about 30 red giant member stars in the low-mass, low-metallicity Milky Way cluster NGC 6535. We measured its metallicity (finding [Fe/H]=-1.95, rms=0.04dex in our homogeneous scale) and other elements, in particular we concentrate here on O and Na abundances. These elements define the normal Na-O anti-correlation of classical GCs, making NGC 6535 perhaps the lowest mass cluster with confirmed presence of multiple populations. We updated the census of Galactic and extragalactic GCs for which a statement on the presence or absence of multiple populations can be made on the basis of high-resolution spectroscopy preferentially, or photometry and low-resolution spectroscopy otherwise, discussing the importance of mass and age of the clusters.
