NGC 3610 globular clusters HST BVI photometry

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The Advanced Camera for Surveys on board the Hubble Space Telescope has been used to obtain deep, high-resolution images of the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 3610, a well-established remnant of a dissipative galaxy merger.

Description

These observations supersede previous, shallower observations that revealed the presence of a population of metal-rich globular clusters of intermediate age (~1.5-4Gyr). We detect a total of 580 cluster candidates, 46% more than from the previous WFPC2 images.

The new photometry strengthens the significance of the previously found bimodality of the color distribution of clusters.
