The Globular Cluster Luminosity Functions of Brightest Cluster Galaxies
A new technique for studying globular cluster populations around relatively distant galaxies is developed and applied to a sample of 23 galaxies in 19 Abell clusters. The technique is based on the surface brightness fluctuations method of determining galaxy distances. The galaxies in this sample range in redshift from 5000 to 10,000 km s1, and were selected from the Lauer & Postman (1994) surve...
متن کاملNearby Spiral Galaxy Globular Cluster Systems II : Globular Cluster Abundances in NGC 300
We present new metallicity estimates for globular cluster candidates in the Sd spiral NGC 300, one of the nearest spiral galaxies outside the Local Group. We have obtained optical spectroscopy for 44 Sculptor Group globular cluster candidates with the Boller and Chivens (B&C) spectrograph on the Baade Telescope at Las Campanas Observatory. Nine of these objects appear to be genuine old globular...
متن کاملNearby Spiral Galaxy Globular Cluster Systems II : Globular Cluster
We present new metallicity estimates for globular cluster candidates in the Sd spiral NGC 300, one of the nearest spiral galaxies outside the Local Group. We have obtained optical spectroscopy for 44 Sculptor Group globular cluster candidates with the Boller and Chivens (B&C) spectrograph on the Baade Telescope at Las Campanas Observatory. There are 2 globular clusters in NGC 253 and 14 objects...
متن کاملGlobular Cluster Systems of Elliptical Galaxies
We review the observed properties of globular cluster systems and their implications for models of galaxy formation. Observations show that globular clusters form in gas-rich mergers, and that bimodal metallicity distributions are common in the globular cluster systems of ellipticals, with the metal-poor population more extended than the metal-rich one. These are three of the four predictions o...
متن کاملCluster Selection and the Evolution of Brightest Cluster Galaxies.
The K-band Hubble diagram of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) is presented for a large, X-ray-selected cluster sample extending out to z=0.8. The controversy over the degree of BCG evolution is shown to be due to sample selection since the BCG luminosity depends on the cluster environment. Selecting only the most X-ray luminous clusters produces a BCG sample that shows, under the assumption of...
