Description
We used archival multi-band Hubble Space Telescope observations obtained
with the Wide Field Camera 3 in the UV-optical channel to present
important new observational findings on the color-magnitude diagram
(CMD) of the Galactic globular cluster ω Centauri. The UV WFC3
data have been coupled with available Wide Field Channel/Advanced Camera
for Surveys optical-band data. The new CMDs, obtained from the
combination of colors coming from eight different bands, disclose an
even more complex stellar population than previously identified. This
paper discusses the detailed morphology of the CMDs.
Based on observations with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, obtained
at the Space Telescope Science Institute, which is operated by AURA,
Inc., under NASA contract NAS 5-26555.
