(1995) shows a blue HB and a number of stars that could be blue stragglers. The cluster is [Fe/H]=-1.49 according to the 2010 update to the Harris (1996) catalogue. PSR: According to Paulo Freire's website at the Max Planck Institute in Bonn (July 2024 version), there are 20 millisecond pulsars in NGC 6517. ================================================================== References Harris, W.
