Some Constraints on Galaxy Evolution Imposed by the Specific Frequency of Globular Clusters
Published 1995-09-22Version 1
Early-type dwarf galaxies are found to have high specific globular cluster frequencies which are similar to the high S values that are observed in luminous galaxies of types E and S0. It appears unlikely that cluster formation during mergers between dwarf disk systems can account for the high specific globular cluster frequency that is observed in early-type dwarf galaxies. Some alternative scenarios are briefly discussed.
