Abstract

During the last four years, we have performed Sejong/ARCSEC Ca uvby survey using the CTIO-1m telescope aimed at obtaining Ca uvby photometry for about 50 globular clusters and selected fields in Baade's Windows. Our results show that Ca uvby photometric system can provide a powerful method to probe multiple populations in Galactic globular clusters. We will discuss the multiple stellar population in the globular cluster NGC6218 and NGC6752 as illustrations.
