Abstract
The nucleosynthetic histories of the outer halo globular clusters, as inferred by their chemical abundance patterns, are crucial tracers of the early formation of the Galactic halo and subsequent evolution of the Galaxy. Some outer halo clusters have been purported to be associated with galactic merger events such as the present-day merger with the Sgr dwarf galaxy. Reported here are preliminary abundance results for a sub-sample of the data acquired for this investigation.
