CCD PHOTOMETRY OF GLOBULAR CLUSTERS IN NGC 3377
Abstract
New CCD photometry to a limit B = 24.3 is presented for a sample of globular clusters aound NGC 3377, an intermediate-size elliptical in the Leo group. Assuming that the luminosity function of its globular clusters follows the same log-normal form as in other galaxies, we derive a peak frequency level (turnover magnitude) of B0 = 23.35 ± 0.40 for a combined sample of clusters in NGC 3377 and NGC 3379. Matching this to the globular clusters in …
