Abstract:
The fraction of stellar mass contained in globular clusters (GCs),
also measured by number as the specific frequency, is a fundamental
quantity that reflects both a galaxy's early star formation and its
entire merging history. We present specific frequencies, luminosities,
and mass fractions for the globular cluster systems of 100 early-type
galaxies in the ACS Virgo Cluster Survey, the largest homogeneous
catalog of its kind.
Description:
The ACS Virgo Cluster Survey is a large program to image 100
early-type galaxies in the Virgo Cluster with the Hubble Space
Telescope (HST) Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS).
