Globular Cluster Metallicity Subpopulations in NGC 4472
Bimodality is a common feature of globular cluster (GC) color distributions in galaxies. Although it is well known that the GC system of the Milky Way is...
Globular Cluster Populations: First Results from S4G Early-type Galaxies
Using 3.6 μm images of 97 early-type galaxies, we develop and verify methodology to measure globular cluster populations from the S4G survey images. We find...
Globular Cluster Populations: Results Including S4G Late-type Galaxies
Using 3.6 and 4.5 μm images of 73 late-type, edge-on galaxies from the S4G survey, we compare the richness of the globular cluster populations of these galaxies...
Globular cluster systems as tracers of environmental effects on Virgo early-type dwarfs
Early-type dwarfs (dEs) are by far the most abundant galaxy population in nearby clusters. Whether these objects are primordial, or the recent end products of...
Globular Cluster Systems in Elliptical Galaxies of Coma
Globular cluster systems of 17 elliptical galaxies have been studied in the Coma Cluster of galaxies. Surface-brightness fluctuations have been used to...
We analyse the globular cluster (GC) systems of a sample of 15 massive, compact early-type galaxies (ETGs), 13 of which have already been identified as good...
Context: .Shells in Elliptical Galaxies are faint, sharp-edged features, believed to provide evidence of a recent (˜ 0.5 - 2 × 109 years ago) merger event. We...
Globular Clusters in Virgo Ellipticals: Unexpected Results for Giants and Dwarfs from Advanced Camera for Surveys Imaging
We have analyzed archival Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys images in g and z of the globular cluster (GC) systems of 53 ellipticals in the...
Globular Clusters Indicate That Ultra-diffuse Galaxies Are Dwarfs
We present an analysis of archival HST/ACS imaging in the F475W (g 475), F606W (V 606), and F814W (I 814) bands of the globular cluster (GC) system of a large...
