| Abstract | Photoelectric photometry of the integrand light of globular clusters in selected filter passbands has been used to derive estimates of their interstellar reddenings and metal abundances (i.e., [Fe/H]). The uncertainties in these estimates average ±0.03 in E(B - V) and ±0.10 in [Fe/H], which are not much larger than the uncertainties in the estimates derived from the best methods that rely on observations of individual stars in the clusters. Seventy-nine globular clusters have been observed with our technique, which brings to 84 the total number of globular clusters with precise estimates of metal abundance. |
