B-R colours of globular clusters in NGC 6166 (A2199)
Abstract
We have analysed new R-band photometry of globular clusters in NGC 6166, the cD galaxy in the cooling flow cluster A2199. In combination with the earlier B photometry of Pritchet & Harris, we obtain B —R colours for ∼ 40 globular clusters in NGC6166. The mean B—R is 1.26 ± 0.11, corresponding to a mean [Fe/H] = − 1 ± 0.4. Given that NGC 6166 is one of the most luminous cD galaxies studied to date, our result implies significant scatter in the …
