The ACS Virgo Cluster Survey. IX. The Color Distributions of Globular Cluster Systems in Early‐Type Galaxies

We present the color distributions of globular cluster (GC) systems for 100 early-type galaxies observed in the ACS Virgo Cluster Survey, the deepest and most homogeneous survey of this kind to date. On average, galaxies at all luminosities in our study (-22 < MB < -15) appear to have bimodal …
