Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of orbital eccentricity on the dynamical evolution of star clusters
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of orbital eccentricity on the dynamical evolution of star clusters was explored using N-body simulations and the authors found that the corresponding circular orbit which best describes the evolution of a cluster on an eccentric orbit is much less than its semi-major axis or time averaged galactocentric distance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Globular Cluster Systems in Three cD Galaxies within Rich Abell Clusters
Journal ArticleDOI
Tracing the Outer Halo in a Giant Elliptical to 25 Reff

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Advanced Camera for Surveys and Wide Field Camera 3 cameras on board the Hubble Space Telescope to resolve stars in the halo of the nearest giant elliptical (gE) galaxy NGC 5128 out to a projected distance of 140 kpc (25 effective radii, R {sub eff}) along the major axis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the first extensive cooling white dwarfs seen in a globular cluster was discovered in M4 (NGC 6121, C1620-264) using the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) on the Hubble Space Telescope.
