Halo enrichment by disrupted globular clusters
We study the evolution of the galactic globular cluster system to determine its initial mass-function and the fraction of halo stars that could have come from disrupted globular clusters. We study the cluster evolution under the influence of two destruction mechanisms: Twobody relaxation and dynamical friction. New results of N -body simulations are used for the lifetimes of clusters dissolving...
متن کاملSynchronized Formation of Sub-galactic Systems at Cosmological Reionization: Origin of Old Halo Globular Clusters
Gas rich sub-galactic halos with mass Mt ≤ 10 8 M⊙, while incapable of forming stars due to lack of adequate coolants, do exist in abundance at cosmological reionization. The reionization of the universe has an interesting physical effect on these halos. The external radiation field causes a synchronous inward propagation of an ionization front towards each halo, resulting in an inward, converg...
متن کاملVelocity dispersions and mass - to - light ratios for 9 globular clusters in M 31
We present internal velocity dispersion determinations from high-resolution spectroscopic observations of a sample of nine globular clusters in M31. Comprehensive numerical simulations are used to show that the typical uncertainty of our velocity dispersion measurements is ∼5%. Using these new velocity dispersions together with structural parameters derived from HST observations, we estimate th...
متن کاملNewly Discovered Globular Clusters in the Outer Halo of M31
We present nine newly discovered globular clusters in the outer halo of M31, found by a semi-automated procedure from an INT Wide Field Camera survey of the region. The sample includes a candidate at the largest known projected galactocentric radius yet from M31.
متن کاملSED, Metallicity and Age of Halo Globular Clusters in M33
In this paper we study the properties of ten halo globular clusters in the nearby spiral galaxy M33. CCD images of M33 were obtained as a part of the BATC Colour Survey of the sky in 13 intermediate-band filters from 3800 to 10000Å. By aperture photometry, we obtain the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of these globular clusters. We estimate the ages of our sample clusters by comparing the ...
