Wandering globular clusters: the first dwarf galaxies in the universe?
, 2010 In the last decade we witness an advent of new types of dwarf stellar systems in cluding ultra-compact dwarfs, ultra-faint dwarf spheroidals, and exotic globular clusters, breaking the old simple paradigm for dwarf galaxies and globular clusters.

THE NEXT GENERATION VIRGO CLUSTER SURVEY. VIII. THE SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF GLOBULAR CLUSTERS IN THE VIRGO CLUSTER [PDF]
, 2014 We report on a large-scale study of the distribution of globular clusters (GCs) throughout the Virgo cluster, based on photometry from the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS), a large imaging survey covering Virgo's primary subclusters (Virgo A =

Evidence for an accretion origin for the outer halo globular cluster system of M31
, 2010 We use a sample of newly-discovered globular clusters from the Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey (PAndAS) in combination with previously-catalogued objects to map the spatial distribution of globular clusters in the M31 halo. At projected radii beyond ~

The Colors of Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy Globular Cluster Systems, Nuclei and Stellar Halos
, 2004 We present the results of a Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 F555W and F814W survey of 69 dwarf elliptical galaxies (dEs) in the Virgo and Fornax Clusters and Leo Group.

SIZES OF GALACTIC GLOBULAR CLUSTERS [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2012 A study is made of deviations from the mean power-law relationship between the Galactocentric distances and the half-light radii of Galactic globular clusters. Surprisingly, deviations from the mean R_h versus R_gc relationship do not appear to correlate with cluster luminosity, cluster metallicity, or horizontal branch morphology. Differences in orbit

One Piece at a Time—Adding to the Puzzle of S0 Formation
Galaxies, 2017 Understanding the origin of galaxies remains a topic of debate in the current astronomy. In this work, we have focused on lenticular (S0) galaxies located in low-density environments, using their associated globular cluster (GC) systems as a tool ...

Metallicity of Globular Cluster M13 from VI CCD Photometry [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2000 From the VI images of M13, obtained by using 2K CCD camera and the BOAO 1.8m telescope, we derive the (V-I)-V CMD of M13. From the shapes of red giant branch, the magnitude of horizontal branch, and the giant branch bump on the constructed CMD, we ...

, 2005 We report on the discovery of a large number of RR Lyrae variable stars in the moderately metal-rich Galactic globular cluster M62 (NGC 6266), which places it among the top three most RR Lyrae-rich globular clusters known.
