HST observations of GCs in NGC 1399

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We combine new Wide Field Camera 3 IR Channel (WFC3/IR) F160W (H_160_) imaging data for NGC 1399, the central galaxy in the Fornax cluster, with archival F475W (g_475_), F606W (V_606_), F814W (I_814_), and F850LP (z _850_) optical data from the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS).

Description

The purely optical g_475_-I_814_, V_606_-I_814_, and g_475_-z_850_colors of NGC 1399's rich globular cluster (GC) system exhibit clear bimodality, at least for magnitudes I_814_>21.5.

The optical-IR I_814_-H_160_ color distribution appears unimodal, and this impression is confirmed by mixture modeling analysis. The V_606_-H_160_ colors show marginal evidence for bimodality, consistent with bimodality in V_606_-I_814_ and unimodality in I_814_-H_160_.
