Globular cluster candidates in NGC 891*
Abstract
We use deep images taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) on board the Hubble Space Telescope of the disc galaxy NGC 891 to search for globular cluster (GC) candidates. This galaxy has long been considered to be a close analogue in size and structure to the Milky Way and is nearly edge-on, facilitating studies of its halo population. These extraplanar ACS images, originally intended to study the halo field-star populations, reach deep …
