Globular Cluster Systems in the Hydra I Galaxy Cluster
In this contribution, first results of deep VLT photometry (V,I) in the central region of the Hydra I galaxy cluster are presented. Many star clusters have been identified not only around several earlytype galaxies, but also in the intra-cluster field, as far as 250 kpc from the cluster center. Outside the bulges of the central galaxies NGC 3311 and NGC 3309, the intra-cluster globular cluster ...
متن کاملNearby Spiral Galaxy Globular Cluster Systems II : Globular Cluster
We present new metallicity estimates for globular cluster candidates in the Sd spiral NGC 300, one of the nearest spiral galaxies outside the Local Group. We have obtained optical spectroscopy for 44 Sculptor Group globular cluster candidates with the Boller and Chivens (B&C) spectrograph on the Baade Telescope at Las Campanas Observatory. There are 2 globular clusters in NGC 253 and 14 objects...
متن کاملNearby Spiral Galaxy Globular Cluster Systems II : Globular Cluster Abundances in NGC 300
We present new metallicity estimates for globular cluster candidates in the Sd spiral NGC 300, one of the nearest spiral galaxies outside the Local Group. We have obtained optical spectroscopy for 44 Sculptor Group globular cluster candidates with the Boller and Chivens (B&C) spectrograph on the Baade Telescope at Las Campanas Observatory. Nine of these objects appear to be genuine old globular...
متن کاملGlobular Cluster and Galaxy Formation: M31, the Milky Way and Implications for Globular Cluster Systems of Spiral Galaxies
We find that the globular cluster systems of the Milky Way and of our neighboring spiral galaxy, M31, comprise two distinct entities, differing in three respects. First, M31 has a set of young globular clusters (GCs), ranging in age from a few 100 Myr to 5 Gyr old, as well as old globular clusters. No such very young GCs are known in the Milky Way. Second, we confirm that the oldest M31 GCs hav...
متن کاملFSR 1767 - a new globular cluster in the Galaxy
The globular cluster (GC) nature of the recently catalogued candidate FSR 1767 is established in the present work. It results as the closest GC so far detected in the Galaxy. The nature of this object is investigated by means of 2MASS colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs), the stellar radial density profile (RDP) and proper-motions (PM). The properties are consistent with an intermediate metallicity...
