Abstract

Velocities and metallicities for giant star members of the distant globular clusters Reticulum (C0435 -590) and NGC 1841 (C0444-840) based on spectroscopy with the CTIO Argus multi-fiber system show that these two clusters are likely members of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The velocity, [Fe/H] metallicity, and absolute visual magnitude for Reticulum are 241.5±1.5 km s −1 , −1.71, and −6.0±0,2, and for NGC 1841, 212.5±1.8 km s −1 , −2.11, and −7.9±0.2
