Description
We present distance modulus and reddening determinations for 72 Galactic
globular clusters from the homogeneous photometric database of Piotto et
al. (2002, cat. ), calibrated to the HST flight F439W and F555W bands.
The distances have been determined by comparison with theoretical
absolute magnitudes of the ZAHB. For low and intermediate metallicity
clusters, we have estimated the apparent Zero Age Horizontal Branch
(ZAHB) magnitude from the RR Lyrae level. For metal rich clusters, the
ZAHB magnitude was obtained from the fainter envelope of the red HB.
Reddenings have been estimated by comparison of the HST colour-magnitude
diagrams (CMD) with ground CMDs of template clusters with low reddening.
The homogeneity of both the photometric data and the adopted
methodological approach allowed us to obtain highly accurate relative
cluster distances and reddenings. Our results are also compared with
recent compilations in the literature. Description:
