Old globular clusters in dwarf irregular galaxies

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We have performed a search for old globular clusters (GCs) using archival F606W and F814W Hubble Space Telescope/Advanced Camera for Surveys images of 19 Magellanic-type dwarf Irregular (dIrr) galaxies.

Description

Those dIrrs reside in nearby (2-8Mpc) associations of dwarf galaxies only. All dIrrs have absolute magnitudes fainter than or equal to that of the SMC (M_V_=-16.2mag).

We detect in total 50 GC candidates in 13 dIrrs, of which 37 have (V-I) colors consistent with "blue" (old, metal-poor) GCs (bGCs). The luminosity function (LF) of the bGC candidates in our sample shows a turnover magnitude of M_V_=-7.41+/-0.22mag, consistent with other galaxy types.
