RED GIANT BRANCH OF THE METAL POOR GLOBULAR CLUSTERS: I. BUMP, TIP, AND DISTANCE FROM NEAR INERARED PHOTOMETRY
We use near-infrared observations of eight selected Galactic globular clusters to estimate their distances by comparing the observed and theoretically predicted K magnitudes of the red giant branch bumps and tips. The K magnitude levels of the RGB bump and tip have been measured from the luminosity...
