KURTEV Department of Astronomy, Sofia University and Isaac Newton Institute of Chile Bulgarian Branch, James Bourchier Ave. 5, BG – 1164 Sofia, Bulgaria kurtev@phys.uni-sofia.bg AJ, in press ABSTRACT Deep UBVI photometry for a large field covering the distant globular cluster M75 (NGC 6864) is presented. We confirm a previous suggestion (Catelan et al. 1998a) that M75 possesses a bimodal horizontal branch (HB) bearing striking resemblance to the well-known case of NGC 1851. In addition, we detect a third, smaller grouping of stars on the M75 blue tail, separated from the bulk of the blue HB stars by a gap spanning about 0.5 mag in V . Such a group of stars may correspond to the upper part of a very extended, though thinly populated, blue tail. Thus M75 appears to have a trimodal HB. The presence of the “Grundahl jump is verified using the broadband U filter. We explore the color-magnitude diagram of M75 with the purpose of deriving the cluster’s fundamental parameters, and find a metallicity of [Fe/H] = ?1.03±0.17 dex and ?1.24±0.2
