Diamonds on the Hat: globular clusters in the Sombrero galaxy (M104)★
Abstract
Images from the Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for surveys are used to carry out a new photometric study of the globular clusters (GCs) in M104, the Sombrero galaxy. The primary focus of our study is the characteristic distribution function of linear sizes [size distribution function (SDF)] of the GCs. We measure the effective radii for 652 clusters with point spread function‐convolved King and Wilson dynamical model fits. The SDF is …
