Description


We present an unbiased catalog of calcium abundances for 517 red giants brighter than M_V_~-1 in the chemically inhomogeneous globular cluster omega Centauri. The basic features of the abundance distribution are as follows: (1) few, if any, stars exist on the giant branch of omega Cen with [Ca/H] less than -1.6; (2) there is a well-defined peak in the distribution at [Ca/H]=-1.4, with a long tail stretching up to ~[Ca/H]~-0.3; and (3) the distribution is bimodal with a second smaller peak in the distribution at [Ca/H]=-0.9.
