The Luminosity Distribution of Globular Clusters in Dwarf Galaxies
The majority of the globular clusters associated with the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy are faint. In this respect it differs significantly from the globular cluster systems surrounding typical giant galaxies. The observation that most of globular clusters in the outer halo of the Galaxy are also sub-luminous may be understood by assuming that these clusters once also belonged to faint clusterrich d...
متن کاملLuminosity function of clusters of galaxies
The composite galaxy luminosity function (hereafter LF) of 39 Abell clusters of galaxies is derived by computing the statistical excess of galaxy counts in the cluster direction with respect to control fields. Due to the wide field coverage of the digitised POSS-II plates, we can measure field counts around each cluster in a fully homogeneous way. Furthermore, the availability of virtually unli...
متن کاملInternal kinematics of spiral galaxies in distant rich galaxy clusters
We present our project on galaxy evolution in the environment of distant rich clusters aiming at disentangling the importance of specific interaction and galaxy transformation processes from the hierarchical evolution of field galaxies. Spatially resolved MOS spectra were gained with VLT/FORS to analyze the internal kinematics of disk galaxies. First results are shown for the clusters MS 1008.1...
متن کاملThe mass function of young star clusters in spiral galaxies
Aims. The initial cluster mass function (ICMF) in spiral discs is constrained and compared with data for old globular clusters and young clusters in starbursts. Methods. For a given absolute magnitude, the cluster age distribution depends on the ICMF. Here, the behaviour of the median agemagnitude relation is analysed in detail for Schechter ICMFs with various cut-off masses, Mc. The calculated...
متن کاملThe UV luminosity function of nearby clusters of galaxies
We present the UV composite luminosity function for galaxies in the Virgo, Coma and Abell 1367 clusters. The luminosity function (LF) is well fitted by a Schechter function with M * UV − 5 log h 75 = −20.75 ± 0.40 and α = −1.50 ± 0.10 and does not differ significantly from the local UV luminosity function of the field. This result is in agreement with recent studies carried out in the Hα and B-...
