| Abstract: |
We present our near-IR integrated spectral library of six globular
clusters in the LMC and compare the data with existing stellar
populations models. We find good agreement between models and data
in the case of old, metal-poor clusters, while for intermediate-age
and more metal-rich clusters we observe a deviation from the models.
We find that this disagreement is due to the different CO absorption
strengths of the carbon-rich Milky Way TP-AGB stars used in the
models and the LMC carbon stars in our sample. |
