Descripción
We present CCD observations of the galactic globular cluster M15, in the
B and V filters. The cluster was reasonably covered, except in its
northern region where our observations present a gap. We obtained a
Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram for each region observed, and later we
produced a combined HR diagram containing more than 3000 stars. We
generate a clean Colour Magnitude Diagram (CMD) and a Super Fiducial
Line (SFL). Application of several methods and isochrone fitting leads
us to obtain values for the metallicity [Fe/H]_{M15} ˜
-2.16±0.10, the reddening E(B-V)_{M15} ˜ 0.11±0.03,
and a distance modulus of [(m-M)_0]_{M15} ˜ 15.03.
