Structural Parameters for Globular Clusters in NGC 5128**Based on observations with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, obtained from the Space Telescope Science Institute, which is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., under NASA contract NAS 5-26555.
Abstract
We present new imaging measurements of 27 individual globular clusters in the halo of the nearby elliptical galaxy NGC 5128, obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph and Wide Field Planetary Camera 2. We use the cluster light profiles to determine their structural parameters (core and half-light radii, central concentration, and ellipticity). Combining these with similar data for selected inner halo clusters from Holland et …
