A Supra-galactic Conundrum: The Globular Clusters Colour Pattern in Virgo Galaxies
Juan C. Forte, Sergio A. Cellone, María E. De Rossi +8
The presence of systematic modulations in the colour distributions in composite samples of globular clusters associated with galaxies in the Virgo and Fornax clusters has been repo…
Globular Clusters: DNA of Early-Type galaxies?
J. C. Forte, E. I. Vega, F. R. Faifer +4
This paper explores if the mean properties of Early-Type Galaxies (ETG) can be reconstructed from "genetic" information stored in their GCs (i.e., in their chemical abundances, spa…
Multicolour-metallicity Relations from Globular Clusters in NGC 4486 (M87)
Juan C. Forte, Favio R. Faifer, E. Irene Vega +4
We present Gemini griz photometry for 521 globular cluster (GC) candidates in a 5.5 x 5.5 arcmin field centered 3.8 arcmin to the south and 0.9 arcmin to the west of the center of…
Mapping the galaxy NGC 4486 (M87) through its Globular Cluster System
Juan C. Forte, E. Irene Vega, Favio R. Faifer
As shown in previous works, globular clusters can be used to trace the overall structure of the diffuse stellar populations in early type galaxies if the number of clusters per uni…
Polarimetry of an Intermediate-age Open Cluster: NGC 5617
Ana Maria Orsatti, Carlos Feinstein, M. Marcela Vergne +2
We present polarimetric observations in the UBVRI bands of 72 stars located in the direction of the medium age open cluster NGC 5617. Our intention is to use polarimetry as a tool…
The globular clusters-stellar haloes connection in early type galaxies
Juan C. Forte, E. Irene Vega, Favio R. Faifer
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 systems. The a…
A Polarimetric Survey for Dust in 47 Tucanae (NGC 104)
Juan C. Forte, Lilia P. Bassino, E. Irene Vega +3
We present linear polarization in the V band for 77 stars in the field of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae (NGC 104), and for 14 bright-star-free regions, located along an elliptica…
