Trends in the Globular Cluster Luminosity Function of Early-Type Galaxies
Trends in the Globular Cluster Luminosity Function of Early-Type Galaxies
We present results from a study of the globular cluster luminosity function (GCLF) in a sample of 89 early-type galaxies observed as part of the ACS Virgo Cluster Survey. Using a Gaussian parametrization of the GCLF, we find a highly significant correlation between the GCLF dispersion, sigma, and the galaxy …
