Abstract | We present the first measure of Fe and Na abundances in NGC 6362, a low-mass globular cluster (GC) where first- and second-generation stars are fully spatially mixed. A total of 160 member stars (along the red giant branch and the red horizontal branch) were observed with the multi-object spectrograph FLAMES at the Very Large Telescope (...) NGC 6362 is the least massive GC where both the photometric and spectroscopic signatures of multiple populations have been detected. |
