Spectroscopy of globulars in NGC 5128

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present new integrated light spectroscopy of globular clusters (GCs) in NGC 5128, a nearby giant elliptical galaxy less than 4Mpc away, in order to measure radial velocities and derive ages, metallicities, and alpha-element abundance ratios.

Description

Using the Gemini South 8 meter telescope with the instrument Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph, we obtained spectroscopy in the range of ~3400-5700{AA} for 72 GCs with a signal-to-noise ratio greater than 30{AA}^-1^; and we have also discovered 35 new GCs within NGC 5128 from our radial velocity measurements.

We measured and compared the Lick indices from H{delta}_A_ through Fe5406 with the single stellar population models of Thomas et al. (2003MNRAS.339..897T, 2004MNRAS.351L..19T) in order to derive age, metallicity, and [{alpha}/Fe] values.
