The difference in metallicity distribution functions of halo stars and globular clusters as a function of galaxy type: a tracer of globular cluster formation and evolution
Observations of globular clusters (GCs) and field stars in the halos of the giant elliptical galaxy Cen A and the spiral galaxy M 31 show a large range of cluster-to-star number ratios (or “specific frequencies”). The cluster-to-star ratio decreases with increasing metallicity by over a factor of 10...
