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…
