Metallicity dependence of ﹩( \mathrm{FUV}\,-V) _{0}﹩ colors for M87 GCs (circles), Milky Way GCs (triangles), two Milky Way open clusters (inverted triangles), and galaxies (squares). Objects with bluer colors lie higher in the diagram. The Mg2 indices for M87 clusters were estimated from their ﹩( V-I) _{0}﹩ colors (see text for details). The colors and Mg2 indices for Milky Way GCs were adopted from Table 6, while those for galaxies are from Table 3 of DOR95, updated by Trager et al. (1998). Although some M87 clusters overlap the galaxies in the Mg2 index, they have distinct far‐UV properties.
