Characteristic radii of the Milky Way globular clusters
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-09-07)
We report on the extent of the effects of the Milky Way gravitational field in shaping the structural parameters and internal dynamics of its globular cluster population.We make use of a homogeneous, up-to-date data set ...
New VVV Survey Globular Cluster Candidates in the Milky Way Bulge
(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2017-11)
It is likely that a number of Galactic globular clusters remain to be discovered, especially toward the Galactic bulge. High stellar density combined with high and differential interstellar reddening are the two major ...
Large-scale study of the NGC 1399 globular cluster system in Fornax
(EDP Sciences, 2006-06)
We present a Washington C and Kron-Cousins R photometric study of the globular cluster system of NGC 1399, the central galaxy of the Fornax cluster. A large areal coverage of 1 square degree around NGC 1399 is achieved ...
The globular clusters-stellar haloes connection in early-type galaxies
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2009-08)
This paper explores if, and to what an extent, the stellar populations of early-type galaxies can be traced through the colour distribution of their globular cluster (GC) systems. The analysis, based on a galaxy sample ...
A survey for dwarf galaxy remnants around 14 globular clusters in the outer halo
(Oxford University Press, 2018-06)
We report the results of a systematic photometric survey of the peripheral regions of a sample of 14 globular clusters in the outer halo of the Milky Way at distances d(GC) > 25 kpc from the Galactic Centre. The survey is ...
Strömgren metallicities for intermediate-age and old star clusters
(EDP Sciences, 2020-10)
We report results that show that the straightforward star cluster metallicities obtained from Strömgren vby photometry are age-dependent and need to be corrected for further use. This outcome arises from the comparison of ...
