Globular cluster systems of early--type galaxies in Fornax
M. Kissler-Patig, S. Kohle, M. Hilker +3
We studied the properties of the globular cluster systems of five early--type galaxies in the Fornax galaxy cluster: NGC 1374, NGC 1379, NGC 1387, NGC 1427, and the central giant e…

The globular cluster system of an ``old'' merger: NGC 5018
Michael Hilker, Markus Kissler-Patig
We study the properties of the globular cluster system of the ``old'' merger NGC 5018. We detect a relatively poor globular cluster system, that can be divided into at least two po…

The distance of the Fornax Cluster based on Globular Cluster Luminosity Functions
Sven Kohle, Markus Kissler-Patig, Michael Hilker +3
We present Globular Cluster Luminosity Functions for four ellipticals and one S0-Galaxy in the Fornax cluster of galaxies, derived from CCD photometry in V and I. The averaged turn…
