Globular Clusters: Resolution

Scientific paper

We have obtained high spatial-resolution CCD images in a night 01 excellent seeing of two of the five globular clusters (Clusters No. 2 and No. 3) in the Fornax dwarf-spheroidal galaxy using the NTT with Ihe aim of extending their colour magnitude (C-M) diagrams into their cores. The images, shown in Figures 1 and 2, were obtained with a high resolution RCA CCD (O.129" pixel^-1) using EFOSC2. The average seeing (FWHM) for Cluster 3 was O".46 while that of Cluster 2 was 0".58 in the Johnson V band. B band images were also taken. All exposures were of five minutes duration.
