Abstract

From a new infrared photometry of the globular cluster M10 its interstellar extinction and distance modulus are discussed. This is done by comparison with the well-studied clusters M3, M13, and M92. Final values ofE(B-V)=0.17±0.05 and (M v-V)=14.0±0.3 are proposed. The dependence on metallicity of these values is briefly discussed.
