In this paper we further test this assumption in the galaxy NGC 4486 (M87) by combining several data sources. The results show that GCs allow the mapping of the galaxy in terms of the surface brightness profile, integrated colour gradient, chemical abundance and mass-to-luminosity ratios up ...
Mapping the galaxy NGC 4486 (M87) through its globular cluster system As shown in previous works, globular clusters (GCs) can be used to trace the overall structure of the diffuse stellar populations in early-type galaxies if... JC Forte,EI Vega,F Faifer - 《Monthly Notices of the Royal ...
