THE KINEMATICS OF THE GLOBULAR CLUSTER SYSTEM OF NGC 5128 WITH A NEW LARGE SAMPLE OF RADIAL VELOCITY MEASUREMENTS
Abstract
New radial velocity measurements for previously known and newly confirmed globular clusters (GCs) in the nearby massive galaxy NGC 5128 are presented. We have obtained spectroscopy from LDSS-2/Magellan, VIMOS/Very Large Telescope, and HYDRA/Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory from which we have measured the radial velocities of 218 known, and identified 155 new, GCs. The current sample of confirmed GCs in NGC 5128 is now 605 with 563 of …
