Globular cluster populations: Results including S{sup 4}G late-type galaxies

Using 3.6 and 4.5 μm images of 73 late-type, edge-on galaxies from the S{sup 4}G survey, we compare the richness of the globular cluster populations of these galaxies to those of early-type galaxies that we measured previously. In general, the galaxies presented here fill in the distribution for gal...

Zusammenfassung:Using 3.6 and 4.5 μm images of 73 late-type, edge-on galaxies from the S{sup 4}G survey, we compare the richness of the globular cluster populations of these galaxies to those of early-type galaxies that we measured previously. In general, the galaxies presented here fill in the distribution for galaxies with lower stellar mass, M{sub *}, specifically log(M{sub ∗}/M{sub ⊙})
