Estudio fotométrico de candidatos a cúmulos globulares en NGC 1316

We present the first results obtained in the context of a photometric study of the globular cluster population associated with the early-type giant galaxy NGC 1316. We analyze here the first of a total of ten fields that form a deep mosaic, which was obtained using the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph camera. This field contains the nucleus of the galaxy. As a result of psf photometry, we construct color-magnitude and color-color diagrams, as well as spatial distribution and integrated color diagrams. The analysis shows that there is no clear evidence of bimodality in the studied region. However, we confirm the presence of a probable young subpopulation of clusters in this system. Finally, we present color maps of the galaxy, showing the presence of an interesting structure produced by interstellar dust which is surrounding the nucleus of NGC 1316. Our results indicate that no significant effect is observed due to dust on the objects in the studied region. FULL TEXT IN SPANISH
