Elemental abundance investigation of two candidate extragalactic globular clusters (NGC 5024, NGC 5466)

Elemental abundance investigation of two candidate extragalactic globular clusters (NGC 5024, NGC 5466)

High resolution spectra have been analyzed for two and three stars respectively in the candidate extragalactic globular clusters, NGC 5024 and NGC 5466, with the High-Resolution Spectrograph on the 9.2 m Hobby-Eberly Telescope. The goal of this investigation is to evaluate the proposed extragalacti...
