Globular Clusters Indicate Thatultra-diffuse Galaxies Are Dwarfs
We present an analysis of archival HST/ACS imaging in the F475W (g475), F606W (V606), and F814W (I814) bands of the globular cluster (GC) system of a large (3.4 kpc effective radius) ultra-diffuse galaxy (DF17) believed to belocated in the Coma Cluster of galaxies. We detect 11 GCs down to the 5σ completeness limit of the imaging (I814=27 mag). Correcting for background and our detection lim...
متن کاملAre there brown dwarfs in globular clusters ?
We present an analytical method for constraining the substellar initial mass function in globular clusters, based on the observed frequency of transit events. Globular clusters typically have very high stellar densities where close encounters are relatively common, and thus tidal capture can occur to form close binary systems. Encounters between main sequence stars and lower-mass objects can re...
متن کاملHelium-Core White Dwarfs in Globular Clusters
We examine the theoretical implications of a population of low-mass heliumcore white dwarfs in globular clusters. In particular, we focus on the observed population in the core of NGC 6397, where several low-mass white dwarf canditates have been identified as “non-flickerers” by Cool and collaborators. Age and mass estimates from cooling models, combined with dynamical and evolutionary consider...
متن کاملGlobular Clusters in Dense Clusters of Galaxies
Deep imaging data from the Keck II telescope are employed to study the globular cluster (GC) populations in the cores of six rich Abell clusters. The sample includes A754, A1644, A2124, A2147, A2151, and A2152 and covers the redshift range z = 0.035–0.066. These clusters also span a range in morphology from spiral-rich, irregular systems to centrally concentrated cD clusters rich in early-type ...
متن کاملGlobular Clusters in Dwarf Galaxies
Recent work on globular cluster systems in dwarf galaxies outside the Local Group is reviewed. Recent large imaging surveys with the Hubble Space Telescope and follow-up spectroscopy with 8-m class telescopes now allow us to compare the properties of massive star clusters in a wide range of galaxy types and environments. This body of work provides important constraints for theories of galaxy an...
