Cluster Glimpses with Raven: AO Corrected Near and Mid-Infrared Images
  of Glimpse C01 and Glimpse C02
  We discuss images of the star clusters GLIMPSE C01 (GC01) and GLIMPSE C02
(GC02) that were recorded with the Subaru IRCS. Distortions in the wavefront
were corrected with the RAVEN adaptive optics (AO) science demonstrator,
allowing individual stars in the central regions of both clusters -- where the
fractional contamination from non-cluster objects is lowest -- to be imaged. In
addition to J, H, and K' images, both clusters were observed through a
narrow-band filter centered near 3.05um; GC01 was also observed through two
other narrow-band filters that sample longer wavelengths. Stars in the
narrow-band images have a FWHM that is close to the telescope diffraction
limit, demonstrating that open loop AO systems like RAVEN can deliver
exceptional image quality. The near-infrared color magnitude diagram of GC01 is
smeared by non-uniform extinction with a dispersion +/- 0.13 magnitudes in A_K.
The Red Clump is identified in the K luminosity function (LF) of GC01, and a
distance modulus of 13.6 is found. The K LF of GC01 is consistent with a system
that is dominated by stars with an age > 1 Gyr. As for GC02, the K LF is flat
for K > 16, and the absence of a sub-giant branch argues against an old age if
the cluster is at a distance of ~ 7 kpc. Archival SPITZER [3.6] and [4.5]
images of the clusters are also examined, and the red giant branch-tip is
identified.
