摘要：
We have imaged the globular cluster NGC 7099 in the far-UV and visible with WFPC2 on the Hubble Space Telescope. Our far-UV images show a sparsely populated and fully resolved central region. The far-UV to visible color-magnitude diagram of these stars shows a well-defined horizontal branch with no evidence for hot, more evolved descendants. We find one hot horizontal branch star; the center of the cluster harbors four luminous blue stragglers. Far-UV images do not show any singularly steep density gradient at small radii among the horizontal branch stars of this post-core-collapse cluster.
