GLOBULAR CLUSTER SYSTEMS IN OTHER GALAXIES Compiled by William E. Harris McMaster University This Revision: March 1996 This catalog contains a brief summary of available data for 73 galaxies in which old-halo globular cluster populations have been found. It is based on the extensive literature survey of Harris 1991 (see reference [12] below), updated to the present with more recent changes and additions. In particular, the adopted distance scale is slightly different from the 1991 listing (the Virgo distance modulus is now set at 31.0, and provides a baseline of comparison for many other galaxies in the list). The present list of cluster populations and specific frequencies has been recalculated in all such cases. Calculating the total cluster population usually involves an extrapolation of the directly observed totals over all magnitudes and radial ranges. These differ considerably from one galaxy to the next; however, as a general rule, for E galaxies we adopt a `turnover' (peak point of the cluster luminosity distribution of M_V = -7.2 and a Gaussian standard deviation sigma = 1.4 mag; while for spiral galaxies, we adopt M_V(turnover) = -7.4 and sigma = 1.2 mag (see [11]). column (1): Galaxy (NGC number or other identification) column (2): Name of group (if any) that the galaxy belongs to. Local Group members are listed first; succeeding galaxies are in order of right ascension, with the exception that group members are listed together. column (3): Galaxy type (primarily from the RC3) column (4): Heliocentric radial velocity column (5): Apparent visual distance modulus. For nearby galaxies ( Virgo and in), individual distance measurements are adopted. For more distant ones, the primary distance indicator is the radial velocity, with H_0 = 75 km/s/Mpc. The Virgo distance is set at (m-M)_v = 31.0, following the Cepheid, planetary nebula, and surface brightness fluctuation methods. column (6): Absolute integrated magnitude of galaxy column (7): Total number of globular clusters estimated to be in the galaxy, integrated over all luminosities (magnitudes) and all radii column (8): Estimated uncertainty in N_gc column (9): Specific frequency, defined as in [12,15]: number of globular clusters per unit galaxy luminosity. column (10): Estimated uncertainty in S_N column (11): Reference source for the globular cluster count data. See the list at the end of the table.
