The ACS Virgo Cluster Survey. XII. The Luminosity Function of Globular Clusters in Early‐Type Galaxies

We analyze the luminosity function of the globular clusters (GCs) belonging to the early-type galaxies observed in the ACS Virgo Cluster Survey. We have obtained maximum likelihood estimates for a Gaussian representation of the globular cluster luminosity function (GCLF) for 89 galaxies. We have also fit the luminosity functions with …
