Identification and photometry of globular clusters in M 31 and M 33 galaxies
نویسنده
چکیده
We have used the data from the DIRECT project to search for new globular cluster candidates in the M31 and M33 galaxies. We have found 67 new objects in M31 and 35 in M33 and confirmed 38 and 16 previously discovered ones. A V I and BV I photometry has been obtained for all the clusters in M31 and M33 respectively. Luminosity functions have been constructed for the clusters in each galaxy and compared with that of the Milky Way.

We present a catalog of 4780 extended sources from the outer field of M33. The catalog includes 73 previously identified clusters or planetary nebulae, 1153 likely background galaxies, and 3554 new candidate stellar clusters. The survey is based on deep ground-based images obtained with the MegaCam instrument on the CFHT telescope. We provide gri photometry for detected objects as well as estim...

Using high-dispersion spectra from the HIRES echelle spectrograph on the Keck I telescope, we measure velocity dispersions for 4 globular clusters in M33. Combining the velocity dispersions with integrated photometry and structural parameters derived from King–Michie model fits to WFPC2 images, we obtain mass-to-light ratios for the clusters. The mean value is M/LV = 1.53 ± 0.18, very similar t...

We have identi ed 26 new globular cluster candidates in the inner 3 kpc of NGC 5128 (Cen A), the nearest known large galaxy being the probable product of a merger. The clusters are selected on the basis of their structural parameters (observed core diameters and ellipticities), as measured from archival WFPC HST images. IR photometry obtained with IRAC2B at the ESO/MPI 2.2{m telescope is combin...

In this paper we present CCD multicolor photometry for 172 globular clusters (GCs), taken from the Bologna catalog (Battistini et al. 1987), in the nearby spiral galaxy M31. The observations were carried out by using the National Astronomical Observatories 60/90 cm Schmidt Telescope in 13 intermediate-band filters, which covered a range of wavelength from 3800 to 10000Å. This provides a multico...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Globular Cluster Systems in UGC 9799 and NGC 1129
We present a preliminary analysis of HST-WFPC2 observations of globular cluster systems in the two brightest galaxies, UGC 9799 (cD) and NGC 1129 (non-cD), located in the center of rich clusters. UGC 9799 is a cD galaxy located in the center of the massive Abell 2052 cluster at z=0.035, and is known to have the largest number of the globular clusters (N(total) ≈ 46, 000) and the highest specifi...
