Investigating the M GCS–M h Relation in the Most Massive Galaxies
Abstract
The relation between the total mass contained in the globular clusters of a galaxy and the mass of its dark-matter halo has been found observationally to be nearly linear over five decades of mass. However, the high-mass end of this relation is not well determined from previous data and shows large scatter. We analyze the globular cluster systems (GCSs) of a homogeneous sample of 11 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) through DOLPHOT photometry …
