Nonlinear Color-Metallicity Relations of Globular Clusters. XI. Nonlinearity Effect Revealed by NGC 5128 (Centaurus A) and NGC 4594 (Sombrero) Galaxies
Hak-Sub Kim, Suk-Jin Yoon, Sang-Yoon Lee +1
Metallicity distributions (MDs) of globular clusters (GCs) provide crucial clues for the assembly and star formation history of their host galaxies. GC colors, when GCs are old, ha…
Nonlinear Color-Metallicity Relations of Globular Clusters. X. Subaru/FOCAS Multi-object Spectroscopy of M87 Globular Clusters
Sooyoung Kim, Suk-Jin Yoon, Sang-Yoon Lee +2
We obtained spectra of some 140 globular clusters (GCs) associated with the Virgo central cD galaxy M87 with the Subaru/FOCAS MOS mode. The fundamental properties of GCs such as ag…
Nonlinear Color-Metallicity Relations of Globular Clusters. IX. Different Radial Number Density Profiles between Blue and Red Clusters
Sang-Yoon Lee, Chul Chung, Suk-Jin Yoon
The optical colors of globular clusters (GCs) in most large early-type galaxies are bimodal. Blue and red GCs show a sharp difference in the radial profile of their surface number…
Yonsei Evolutionary Population Synthesis (YEPS) Model. III. Surface Brightness Fluctuation of Normal and Helium-enhanced Simple Stellar Populations
Chul Chung, Suk-Jin Yoon, Hyejeon Cho +2
We present an evolutionary population synthesis model of the surface brightness fluctuation (SBF) for normal and He-enriched simple stellar populations (SSPs). While our SBF model…
Radial Dependence of the Proto-Globular Cluster Contribution to the Milky Way Formation
Chul Chung, Mario Pasquato, Sang-Yoon Lee +4
Recent interpretation of the colormagnitude diagrams of the Milky Way (MW) bulge has suggested that the observed double red-clump feature can be a natural consequence of He-enha…
Nonlinear Color-Metallicity Relations of Globular Clusters. VIII. Reproducing Color Distributions of Individual Globular Cluster Systems in the Virgo and Fornax Galaxy Clusters
Sang-Yoon Lee, Chul Chung, Suk-Jin Yoon
The color distributions of globular clusters (GCs) in individual early-type galaxies show great diversity in their morphology. Based on the conventional "linear" relationship betwe…
Nonlinear Color--Metallicity Relations of Globular Clusters. VI. On Calcium II Triplet Based Metallicities of Globular Clusters in Early-type Galaxies
Chul Chung, Suk-Jin Yoon, Sang-Yoon Lee +1
The metallicity distribution function of globular clusters (GCs) in galaxies is a key to understanding galactic formation and evolution. The calcium II triplet (CaT) index has rece…
The effect of second generation populations on the integrated colors of metal-rich globular clusters in early-type galaxies
Chul Chung, Sang-Yoon Lee, Suk-Jin Yoon +1
The mean color of globular clusters (GCs) in early-type galaxies is in general bluer than the integrated color of halo field stars in host galaxies. Metal-rich GCs often appear mor…
Nonlinear Color-Metallicity Relations of Globular Clusters. IV. Testing the Nonlinearity Scenario for Color Bimodality via HST/WFC3 u-band Photometry of M84 (NGC 4374)
Suk-Jin Yoon, Sangmo T. Sohn, Hak-Sub Kim +4
Color distributions of globular clusters (GCs) in most massive galaxies are bimodal. Assuming linear color-to-metallicity conversions, bimodality is viewed as the presence of merel…
Wide-Field Multiband Photometry of Globular Cluster Systems in the Fornax Galaxy Cluster
Hak-Sub Kim, Suk-Jin Yoon, Sangmo Tony Sohn +5
We present wide-field multiband photometry of globular cluster (GC) systems in NGC 1399, NGC 1404, and NGC 1387 located at the central region of the Fornax galaxy cluster. Observat…
Yonsei Evolutionary Population Synthesis (YEPS) Model. I. Spectroscopic Evolution of Simple Stellar Populations
Chul Chung, Suk-Jin Yoon, Sang-Yoon Lee +1
We present a series of papers on the year-2012 version of Yonsei Evolutionary Population Synthesis (YEPS) model which is constructed on over 20 years of heritage. This first paper…
Nonlinear Color-Metallicity Relations of Globular Clusters. III. On the Discrepancy in Metallicity between Globular Cluster Systems and their Parent Elliptical Galaxies
Suk-Jin Yoon, Sang-Yoon Lee, John P. Blakeslee +7
One of the conundrums in extragalactic astronomy is the discrepancy in observed metallicity distribution functions (MDFs) between the two prime stellar components of early-type gal…
Nonlinear Color-Metallicity Relations of Globular Clusters. II. A Test on the Nonlinearity Scenario for Color Bimodality Using the u-band Colors: The Case of M87 (NGC 4486)
Suk-Jin Yoon, Sangmo T. Sohn, Sang-Yoon Lee +4
The optical color distributions of globular clusters (GCs) in most large elliptical galaxies are bimodal. Based on the assumed linear relationship between GC colors and their metal…
Probing the Intermediate-Age Globular Clusters in NGC 5128 from Ultraviolet Observations
Soo-Chang Rey, Sangmo T. Sohn, Michael A. Beasley +23
We explore the age distribution of the globular cluster (GC) system of the nearby elliptical galaxy NGC 5128 using ultraviolet (UV) photometry from Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX…
