Description


Whiting 1 is a member of the fast-growing group of young globular clusters in the Milky Way halo. Preliminary estimates of its fundamental parameters have been provided using optical photometry and low-resolution spectroscopy. In an attempt to strengthen our knowledge of Whiting 1, in this study we employ a complementary approach. Isochrone fitting method was applied on the near-infrared colour-magnitude diagram and yields an age t=5.7+/-0.3Gyr, metallicity z=0.006+/-0.001 ([Fe/H]=-0.5+/-0.1) and distance modulus (m-M)0=17.48+/-0.10. Our results confirm that Whiting 1 is a young and moderately metal-rich globular cluster. It is one of the youngest from the Sgr dSph. We fitted an Elson, Fall and Freeman (EFF) profile to the near-infrared number counts, and measured cluster core radius r_c_=9.1+/-3.9". Two probable eclipsing variables in the cluster were found from multi-epoch V-band photometry. Finally, an unknown galaxy cluster was identified on our K versus (J-K) colour-magnitude diagram. It has a redshift z~1, and it is located at about 1arcmin from the centre of Whiting 1 at {alpha}_J2000_= 02:02:56.6, {delta}_J2000_=-03:16:09, contaminating the cluster photometry.
