The Dependence of Globular Cluster Number on Density for Abell Cluster Central Galaxies
A study of the globular cluster systems of 23 brightest, or central, galaxies in 19 Abell clusters has recently been completed (Blakeslee 1997). This letter presents some of the newly discovered correlations of the globular cluster specific frequency SN in these galaxies with other galaxy and cluster properties and puts forth an interpretation of these results. SN is found to correlate strongly...
متن کاملThe cluster of galaxies Abell 376 . ⋆
We present a dynamical analysis of the galaxy cluster Abell 376 based on a set of 73 velocities, most of them measured at Pic du Midi and Haute-Provence observatories and completed with data from the literature. Data on individual galaxies are presented and the accuracy of the determined velocities is discussed as well as some properties of the cluster. We obtained an improved mean redshift val...
متن کاملThe 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 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 کاملOn the structure of globular cluster systems in elliptical galaxies
It has long been known that the radial density profiles of globular cluster systems (GCSs) in elliptical galaxies vary with the total luminosities of their host galaxies. In order to elucidate the origin of this structural non-homology in GCSs, we numerically investigate the structural properties of GCSs in elliptical galaxies formed from a sequence of major dissipationless galaxy merging. We f...
