Abstract
Near infrared color-magnitude diagrams and absorption spectra are powerful instruments to study the cool stellar sequences also in very reddened and crowded environments. As an example, we discuss the case of Terzan 1, a globular cluster in the Bulge of our Galaxy. By coupling near infrared photometric and spectroscopic diagnostics we perform a preliminary abundance analysis
