Structural parameters from ground-based observations of newly discovered globular clusters in NGC 5128
Abstract
We have investigated a number of globular cluster candidates from a recent wide-field study by Harris et al. (2004a, AJ, 128, 712) of the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 5128. We used the Magellan I telescope + MagIC camera under excellent seeing conditions () and obtained very high resolution images for a sample of 44 candidates. Of these, 15 appear to be bonafide globular clusters in NGC 5128 while the rest are either foreground stars or …
