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…

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…
