The distance of the Fornax cluster based on globular cluster luminosity functions.

KOHLE S., KISSLER-PATIG M., HILKER M., RICHTLER T., INFANTE L. and QUINTANA H.

Abstract (from CDS):

We present Globular Cluster Luminosity Functions for four ellipticals and one S0-Galaxy in the Fornax cluster of galaxies, derived from CCD photometry in V and I. The averaged turnover magnitudes are VTO=23.80±0.06mag and ITO=22.39±0.05mag, respectively. We derive a relative distance modulus (m-M)Fornax-(m-M)M87=0.08±0.09mag using the turnover of M87 based on HST data.
