Globular Clusters and the Halos of Dwarf Galaxies

Globular Clusters and the Halos of Dwarf Galaxies

Blog Article

Many dwarf galaxies have disproportionately rich globular cluster (GC) systems for their luminosities.Moreover, the GCs tend to be preferentially Puddlesuits associated with the most metal-poor stellar populations in their parent galaxies, making them attractive tracers of the halos of dwarf (and larger) galaxies.In this contribution, I briefly discuss some 6-Piece Sectional with Chaise constraints on cluster disruption obtained from studies of metal-poor GCs in dwarf galaxies.

I then discuss our recent work on detailed abundance analysis from integrated-light spectroscopy of GCs in Local Group dwarf galaxies.
