AbstractWe present abundance measurements in the tidally disrupted globular cluster NGC 6712. In this cluster, there are large star-to-star variations of the light elements C, N, O, F and Na. While such abundance variations are seen in every well-studied globular cluster, they are not found in field stars and indicate that clusters like NGC 6712 cannot provide many field stars and/or field stars do not form in environments with chemical-enrichment histories like those of NGC 6712. Preliminary analysis of NGC 5466, another tidally disrupted cluster, suggests little (if any) abundance variation for O and Na and the abundance ratios [X/Fe] are comparable to field stars at the same metallicity. Therefore, globular clusters like NGC 5466 may have been Galactic building blocks.

AbstractA spectroscopic study comparing the [Na/Fe] distributions of RGB and AGB stars in the Galactic globular cluster (GC) NGC 6752 found that there was no Na-rich, 2nd-generation star along the early-AGB of this cluster. This came as a surprise since in this GC, as well as other Galactic GCs studied so far, 1st- and 2nd-generation stars have usually been found from the main sequence turnoff up to the red giant branch. To investigate whether the failure of a significant fraction of stars to ascend the AGB also happens to other GCs, we studied a sample of AGB and RGB stars in NGC 2808 observed at the ESO/VLT with FLAMES. Contrary to NGC 6752, we find that the AGB and RGB stars we studied in NGC 2808 have comparable [Na/Fe] dispersions.
