Prospects for Detecting Fast Radio Bursts in the Globular Clusters of Nearby Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The recent detection of a repeating fast radio burst (FRB) in an old globular cluster in M81 challenges traditional FRB formation mechanisms based on the magnetic activity of young neutron stars formed in core-collapse supernovae.

Globular cluster star classification: Application to M13 [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2013 Starting from recent determination of Fe, O, Na abundances on a restricted sample (N = 67) of halo and thick disk stars, a natural and well motivated selection criterion is defined for the classification globular cluster stars. An application is

Globular cluster system erosion and nucleus formation in elliptical galaxies [PDF]
, 1998 The radial distribution of globular clusters in galaxies is always less peaked to the centre than the halo stars'. Extending previous work to a sample of HST globular cluster systems in ellipticals, we evaluate the number of clusters lost to the galactic

Dynamics of the Globular Cluster System Associated with M87 (NGC 4486). II. Analysis [PDF]
, 2001 We present a dynamical analysis of the globular cluster system associated with M87 (= NGC 4486), the cD galaxy near the dynamical center of the Virgo cluster.

HST Imaging of the Globular Clusters in the Fornax Cluster: NGC 1399 and NGC 1404 [PDF]
, 1997 The Fornax cluster galaxies NGC 1399 and NGC 1404 are ideal for studying the effects of a cluster environment on globular cluster systems. Here we present new optical imaging of these two galaxies from both the Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field and ...

A Photometric Survey of Globular Cluster Systems in Brightest Cluster Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 Hubble Space Telescope imaging for 26 giant early-type galaxies, all drawn from the MAST archive, is used to carry out photometry of their surrounding globular cluster (GC) systems. Most of these targets are Brightest Cluster Galaxies and their distances

The Dependence of Globular Cluster Number on Density for Abell Cluster Central Galaxies [PDF]
, 1997 A study of the globular cluster systems of 23 brightest, or central, galaxies in 19 Abell clusters has recently been completed. This Letter presents some of the newly discovered correlations of the globular cluster specific frequency $S_N$ in these ...

Constraining Co-Varying Coupling Constants from Globular Cluster Age
Universe, 2023 Equations governing the evolution of a star involve multiple coupling constants. Thus, the time it spends as a main-sequence star can be expected to depend on whether or not such constants vary over the time scale of stellar evolution.
