Keck Imaging of the Globular Cluster Systems in the Early – type Galaxies NGC 1052 and NGC 7332
The presence of two globular cluster subpopulations in early–type galaxies is now the norm rather than the exception. Here we present two more examples for which the host galaxy appears to have undergone a recent merger. Using multi–colour Keck imaging of NGC 1052 and NGC 7332 we find evidence for a bimodal globular cluster colour distribution in both galaxies, with roughly equal numbers of blu...
متن کاملThe field population towards the globular cluster NGC 6553
We analyze the colour magnitude diagram of the field population in the direction of the bulge cluster NGC 6553 to discuss the stellar field component projected towards the cluster. In particular we investigate the nature of a peculiar feature, called “red flare” which appears as a faint turnoff, located 2 magnitudes about below the turnoff of the cluster, with a sparse trace of a sub-giant bran...
متن کاملThe X - ray Globular Cluster Population in NGC 1399
We report on the Chandra observations of the elliptical galaxy NGC 1399, concentrating on the X-ray sources identified with globular clusters (GCs). A large fraction of the 2-10 keV X-ray emission in the 8′ × 8′ Chandra image is resolved into point sources with luminosities ≥ 5× 10 ergs s−1. These sources are most likely Low Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs). In a region imaged by HST about 70% of th...
متن کاملThe globular cluster NGC 6642 : Evidence for a depleted mass function in a very old cluster
We present photometry for the globular cluster NGC6642 using the F606W and F814W filters with the ACS/WFC third generation camera on board of Hubble Space Telescope. The Colour Magnitude Diagram shows sources reaching≈ 6mags below the turn-off in mF606W . A theoretical isochrone fitting was performed and evolutionary parameters were obtained, such as the metallicity [Fe/H ] = −1.80 ± 0.2 and ag...
متن کاملGlobular Cluster Metallicity Subpopulations in NGC 4472
Bimodality is a common feature of globular cluster (GC) color distributions in galaxies. Although it is well known that the GC system of the Milky Way is bimodal in metallicity, this has yet to be directly demonstrated for an elliptical galaxy. We use Lick index measurements from the literature to derive metallicities for 47 GCs in the giant Virgo elliptical galaxy NGC 4472. The resulting distr...
