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. 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…
