Radial velocities of M49 globular clusters

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

Using the Low Resolution Imaging Spectrometer on the Keck I and II telescopes, we have measured radial velocities for 196 globular clusters (GCs) around M49 (NGC 4472), the brightest member of the Virgo Cluster.

Description

Combined with published data, they bring the total number of GCs with measured radial velocities in this galaxy to 263. In terms of sample size, spatial coverage, velocity precision, and the availability of metallicity estimates from Washington photometry, this radial velocity database resembles that presented recently for M87 (NGC 4486), Virgo's cD galaxy and its second-ranked member.

We extract the projected kinematics of the full sample of GCs and of separate subsamples of 158 metal-poor and 105 metal-rich GCs.
