Scientific paper

What we know about the Coma ellipticals so far {NGC 4874, 4881, IC 4051 from Cycle 4, 5} present serious challenges to virtually every one of the current formation scenarios for globular cluster systems. Coma is the densest and richest cluster of galaxies in which globular cluster populations lie within reach of the HST cameras. We will investigate this rich proving ground further by deep V, I WFPC2 imaging of two more of its giant ellipticals: the central {non-cD} supergiant NGC 4889, and a normal isolated luminous gE in the core region, NGC 4926. These targets will extend the range of parameter space that we have sampled in the systematics of globular cluster populations.
