Abstract

We present results from near-infrared photometry of Galactic globular clusters towards the Galactic bulge from the Vista Variables in the Via Lactea survey. In light of updated chemical abundance information, correlations between photometric parameters and cluster metallicities are examined and compared to predictions from evolutionary models, while the large survey area permits statistical field star decontamination. These data are supplemented with additional high resolution optical and infared photometry, facilitating not only photometric analyses over a broad color baseline, but also new constraints on the reddening and reddening law in the direction of these clusters as well as their structural parameters.
