Globular Cluster Candidates in NGC 891 1
We use deep images taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys on board the Hubble Space Telescope of the disk galaxy NGC 891, to search for globular cluster candidates. This galaxy has long been considered to be a close analog in size and structure to the Milky Way and is nearly edge-on, facilitating studies of its halo population. These extraplanar ACS images, originally intended to study the ...
متن کاملDestruction of the Galactic Globular Cluster System
We investigate the dynamical evolution of the Galactic Globular Cluster System in considerably greater detail than has been done hitherto, finding that destruction rates are significantly larger than given by previous estimates. The general scheme (but not the detailed implementation) follows Aguilar, Hut, & Ostriker (1988; AHO). For the evolution of individual clusters we use a Fokker-Planck c...
متن کاملEvolution of the Galactic Globular Cluster System
We study the dynamical evolution of disk and halo globular clusters in the Milky Way using a series of Fokker-Planck calculations combined with parametric statistical models. Our sample of 113 clusters with velocity data is predicted to descend from an initial population of 250 clusters, implying more than a factor of two decrease in population size due to evolution. Approximately 200 of these ...
متن کاملSome Global Characteristics of the Galactic Globular Cluster System
The relations between the luminosities M V , the metallicities [F e/H], the Galacto-centric radii R, and the central concentration indices c of Galactic globular clusters are discussed. It is found that the most luminous clusters rarely have collapsed cores. The reason for this might be that the core collapse time scales for such populous clusters are greater than the age of the Galaxy. Among t...
متن کاملNew space motion of Galactic globular cluster Palomar 5
A new space motion of the Galactic globular cluster Pal 5 has been obtained on the basis of the proper motion determination from 11 Schmidt plates with a time baseline of 39 years. A field of 1 square degree with nearly 400 galaxies defining the absolute reference frame has been used in the differential astrometry from plate-to-plate solutions. Residual systematic errors after the solutions wit...
