Scientific paper

We request deep V and I observations with ACS to examine the properties of a newly discovered population of intergalactic globular clusters in the core of the rich galaxy cluster Abell 1185. Our previous WFPC2 observations of this field {GO-8164} revealed an excess of five times the number of objects at the expected magnitudes of globular clusters compared to the Hubble Deep Fields. The colors and luminosity function of these intergalactic globular clusters will place strong constraints on their origin, which in turn will yield new insights to the evolution of galaxy populations in dense environments.
