Scientific paper

Deep HST observations of a field in the center of the nearby rich cluster Abell 1185 (z = 0.02) reveal an excess of faint unresolved objects whose properties suggest that they are most likely a population of intergalactic globular clusters. We present both WFPC2 and ACS observations and discuss how the colors and luminosities of these objects can place constraints on their origin providing new insights to galaxy evolution in dense environments.
