MAD@VLT: Deep into the Madding Crowd of Omega Centauri
We present deep and accurate Near-Infrared (NIR) photometry of the Galactic
Globular Cluster (GC) Omega Cen. Data were collected using the Multi-Conjugate
Adaptive Optics Demonstrator (MAD) on VLT (ESO). The unprecedented quality of
the images provided the opportunity to perform accurate photometry in the
central crowded regions. Preliminary results indicate that the spread in age
among the different stellar populations in Omega Cen is limited.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, to appear in the Springer Astrophysics and Space
