Notes. 

(a)

Cluster global metallicity obtained by combining the [Fe/H] estimates from Carretta et al. (2009) and the average α-elements enhancement from Carretta et al. (2010a) according to Eq. (3) in Salaris et al. (1993). The associated error bar is obtained by propagating the errors in [Fe/H] and [α/Fe] discussed in Sect. 2 accordingly.

(b)

Cluster age in Gyr estimated by using the TO magnitude and the theoretical calibration shown in the upper panel of Fig. 2.

(c)

Cluster age in Gyr estimated by using the parameter and the theoretical calibration shown in the lower panel of Fig. 2.
