The Secrets of a Shattered Cluster: Uncovering the Past of ESO 280-SC06

ESO 280-SC06 is a faint globular cluster with unexpectedly high levels of chemically enriched second-population stars. Analysis suggests it was once much more massive but lost most of its stars due to tidal disruption. The discovery of a rare nitrogen-enriched star hints at a less dense environment that allowed binary interactions.
