Globular cluster normalized ages as a function of [M/H] in the CG-metallicity scale (upper panel), and as a function of galactocentric distance ( r GC kpc, lower panel). These results have been derived using the D07 stellar evolution library. Open circles, filled triangles, and filled circles represent GCs within the low-, intermediate-, and high-metallicity groups, respectively. For each of the three metallicity groups, mean age and rms are indicated. See text for details.
