Supplementary Notes 

 CM diagrams by Inman & Carney (1987),  Carraro (2009) and Munoz et al.
 (2018) all illustrate that AM-4 has no giant or HB stars. The brightest 
 stars are post-main sequence subgiants.  The cluster seems to be
 tidally distorted and might be of extragalactic origin. 

 In an HST study, Hamron et al. (2013) measured stars down to about
 6 mags below the main sequence turnoff.  They detected a secondary 
 sequence above the MS, indicative of unresolved binary stars.  They 
 also detected two blue stragglers, but the variability status of these 
 stars is not known.
