New IUE observations of the innermost region of the galactic globular cluster M5 (NGC 5904) are presented and discussed. Addition of IUE spectra and identification of spectral features were obtained from the present and previous IUE observations of M5. Synthetic models of the cluster were constructed by taking into account optical and UV data. A comparison between theory and observation allowed for some estimates of the stellar content of M5. However, attention is called to the limits of validity of synthetic models, at least when they are compared with IUE observations.

Abstract
New IUE observations of the innermost region of the galactic globular cluster M5 (NGC 5904) are presented and discussed. Addition of IUE spectra and identification of spectral features were obtained from the present and previous IUE observations of M5. Synthetic models of the cluster were constructed by taking into account optical and UV data. A comparison between theory and observation allowed for some estimates of the stellar content of M5. However, attention is called to the limits of validity of synthetic models, at least when they are compared with IUE observations.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
