Scientific paper

We present the first results of our FLAMES survey of globular clusters (GCs) and dwarfs in the Fornax cluster of galaxies. Based on radial velocities, more than 60 confirmed members are found, including new likely ultra compact dwarf galaxies. These bona fide ``satellites'' lying around or between giant galaxies, in 2 fields chosen 100 kpc apart from the cD, give for the first time a clear indication of a genuine population of intracluster clusters which may probe the overall potential of Fornax.
