Description
We present a multiwavelength photometric analysis of the innermost
(3×3 kpc2) Globular Clusters (GCs) of M87. Their
Spectral Energy Distributions (SEDs) were built with J and Ks
imaging obtained with NaCo at the VLT, along with HST UV-optical
archival data. Using both Galatic GC templates and stellar population
models, we derived ages (> 10 Gyr) and metallicities ([Fe/H]~ -0.7)
for these clusters (e.g: Cohen et al. 1998). These GCs have lower
metallicities than its host galaxy. This agrees with the idea that the
GC population formed earlier than the bulk of the stars.
