The heliocentric velocity (bottom left) and [Fe/H] metallicity (top left) of APOGEE stars within 30′ of 2MASS-GC02. The tidal radius of rt = 4.′9 is shown, as is the radial velocity of the cluster as derived from Borissova et al. (2007). The color–magnitude diagram of the same stars is shown in the right panel. The clump of seven stars with radial velocities of −87 km s−1 at a distance of 1′ from the center of the cluster are consistent with being cluster stars. The solid black line shows the BaSTI isochrone that best matches the cluster’s observed parameters (see text). The APOGEE uncertainties are in [Fe/H] are 0.1–0.2 dex, the APOGEE uncertainties in radial velocity are <0.5 km s−1, and the uncertainties in the dereddened CMD range from ∼0.1–0.7 mag in both ΔE(JK) and ΔAK.
