Recent discoveries show that it hosts two stellar populations with different iron abundance ({\\Delta}[Fe/H]=0.5). Such a large difference has been measured only in {\\omega} Centauri in the Galactic halo. Moreover no anticorrelation is observed in Terzan 5, hence it is not a genuine globular cluster. The observed chemical patterns are strikingly similar to those observed in the Bulge stars. This suggests that Terzan 5 is a remnant fragment of the Galactic bulge.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-01-11T09:52:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "galactic bulge", "fossil remnant", "genuine globular cluster", "stellar populations", "remnant fragment" ], "tags": [ "conference paper" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1210392, "adsabs": "2013MmSAI..84..236M" } } }
