Structural Parameters of the M87 Globular Clusters
We derive structural parameters for ∼ 2000 globular clusters in the giant Virgo elliptical M87 using extremely deep Hubble Space Telescope images in F606W (V) and F814W (I) taken with the ACS/WFC. The cluster scale sizes (half-light radii rh) and ellipticities are determined from PSF-convolved Kingmodel profile fitting. We find that the rh distribution closely resembles the inner Milky Way clus...
متن کاملNewly Discovered Globular Clusters in the Outer Halo of M31
We present nine newly discovered globular clusters in the outer halo of M31, found by a semi-automated procedure from an INT Wide Field Camera survey of the region. The sample includes a candidate at the largest known projected galactocentric radius yet from M31.
متن کاملStructural Parameters for Globular Clusters in NGC 5128. II: HST/ACS Imaging and New Clusters
We report the first results from an imaging program with the ACS camera on HST designed to measure the structural characteristics of a wide range of globular clusters in NGC 5128, the nearest giant elliptical galaxy. From 12 ACS/WFC fields, we have measured a total of 62 previously known globular clusters and have discovered 69 new high-probability cluster candidates not found in any previous
متن کاملM31’s Undisturbed Thin Disk of Globular Clusters
We show that there is a subsystem of the M31 globular clusters with thin disk kinematics. These clusters span the entire metallicity range of the M31 globular cluster system, in contrast to the (thick) disk globulars in the Milky Way which are predominantly metal-rich. Disk globular clusters are found across the entire disk of M31 and form ∼40% of the clusters projected on its disk. The existen...
متن کاملWide-field Survey of Globular Clusters in M31. I. a Catalog of New Clusters
We present the result of a wide-field survey of globular clusters (GCs) in M31 covering a 3 × 3 field centered on M31. We have searched for GCs on CCD images taken with Washington CMT1 filters at the KPNO 0.9 m telescope using the following steps: (1) inspection of morphological parameters given by the SExtractor package such as stellarity, full width at half-maximum, and ellipticity; (2) consu...
