Multichromatic colour-magnitude diagrams of the globular cluster NGC
  6366
  We present multichromatic isochrone fits to the colour-magnitude data of the
globular cluster NGC 6366, based on Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for
Surveys/Wide Field Channel and Southern Astrophysical Research photometric
data. We corrected the photometric data for differential reddening and
calculated the mean ridge line of the colour-magnitude diagrams. We compared
the isochrones of Dartmouth Stellar Evolution Database and PAdova and TRieste
Stellar Evolution Code both with microscopic diffusion starting on the main
sequence. Bracketing all previous determinations of this cluster, we tested
metallicities from [Fe/H]=-1.00 to [Fe/H]=-0.50, and ages from 9 to 13 Gyr.
After determining the total to selective extinction ratio only from stars
belonging to this cluster, R_V=3.06+/-0.14, we found the parameters for this
cluster to be E(B-V)=0.69+/-0.02(int)+/-0.04(ext),
(m-M)_V=15.02+/-0.07(int)+/-0.13(ext), Age=11+/-1.15 Gyr. Evolutionary models
fail to reproduce the low-Teff sequence in multiband colour-magnitude diagrams,
indicating that they still have an incomplete physics. We found that the
Dartmouth Stellar Evolution Database isochrones better fit the subgiant branch
and low main sequence than the PAdova and TRieste Stellar Evolution Code.
