The relation between the total mass contained in the globular clusters of a galaxy and the mass of its dark matter halo has been found observationally to be nearly linear over five decades of mass. However, the high-mass end of this…

Context. While the halo mass function is theoretically a very sensitive measure of cosmological models, masses of dark-matter halos are poorly defined, global, and unobservable quantities. Aims. We argue that local, observable quantities…

We investigate the globular cluster (GC) system scaling parameters as a function of galaxy mass, i.e. specific frequency (S_N), specific luminosity (S_L), specific mass (S_M), and specific number (^T) of GCs. We sample the entire range in…
