Globular cluster system in M87

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present a comprehensive database of kinematic, photometric, and positional information for 352 objects in the field of M87 (NGC 4486), the central giant elliptical galaxy in the Virgo Cluster; the majority of the tracers are globular clusters associated with that galaxy.

Description

New kinematic information comes from multislit observations with the Multi-Object Spectrograph (MOS) of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT), an investigation that has added 96 new velocities to and confirmed many of the earlier values in a preexisting data set of 256 velocities published elsewhere.

The photometry, consisting of magnitudes and colors in the Washington (T_1_, C-T_1_) system, is based on CCD observations made at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) and the Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO).
