6. Concluding remarks

For the first time optical colour-magnitude diagrams of the faint bulge globular clusters Terzan 10, ESO tex2html_wrap_inline1192 38 and UKS 1 are presented. The giant branches are clearly detected, but deeper photometries are necessary to reach the horizontal branches and fainter sequences. This could be achieved by using larger ground-based telescopes or the Hubble Space Telescope, especially in the infrared.

The three clusters are located in the near side of the Galaxy, and such conclusion has been systematically obtained in recent studies of other central bulge clusters (e.g. Terzan 5 and Terzan 6, Ortolani et al. 1996b; Barbuy et al. 1997 and references therein).
