Globular Clusters around Galaxies in Groups


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We have obtained deep photometry of NGC 1199 (in HCG 22) and NGC 6868 (in the Telescopium group). Both galaxies are the optically brightest galaxies of their groups. Our analysis of B and R images taken with the Keck II and the VLT/ESO telescopes, detected a population of globular clusters around both galaxies, with total specific frequencies S_N=1.7pm0.6 for NGC 1199 and S_N = 1.3pm0.6 for NGC 6868. The color distributions of the globular cluster systems shows bimodal peaks centered at (B-R)_0 = 1.13pm0.10 and 1.42pm0.10 (NGC 1199) and (B-R)_0=1.12pm0.10 and 1.42pm0.10 (NGC 6868).
