Tidal Stripping of Globular Clusters

Coenda, V.; Muriel, H.; Donzelli, C.

We have analyzed 9 galaxies taken from the ACS Virgo Cluster Survey to study the tidal stripping of globular clusters in early type galaxies. We estimate the specific frequency (S_N) of globular clusters in the cluster galaxies, our results indicate that the mean S_N increases with the galactocentric distance. However, if the blue and red globular…
