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 associated with the most metal-poor stellar populations hyfrodol in their parent galaxies, making them attractive tracers of the halos of dwarf (and larger) deus gorras galaxies.In this contribution, I briefly discuss some 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.
