Radial Velocities of Newly Discovered Globular Clusters in NGC 5128

Abstract

We present radial velocity measurements for 74 globular clusters (GCs) in the nearby giant elliptical galaxy NGC 5128, of which 31 are newly discovered. All the GC candidates were taken from the list of possible new clusters given in the photometric survey of Harris and coworkers. In addition to the newly confirmed clusters, we identified 24 definite foreground stars and 31 probable background galaxies. From a combined list of 299 known GCs in …
