Globular clusters: DNA of early-type galaxies?

This paper explores if the mean properties of early-type galaxies (ETGs) can be reconstructed from ‘genetic’ information stored in their globular clusters (GCs; i.e. in their chemical abundances, spatial distributions and ages). This approach implies that the formation of each globular occurs in ver...
