Photometry of the Globular Clusters of NGC 185

P. W. Hodge

Abstract

Photometry in the UBV system for five recognized globular clusters in NGC 185 shows that their colors are normal and the luminosities are low. A brief rediscussion of the use of globular clusters as extragalactic distance indicators is based on the recent photometry of globular clusters in the M 31 group. Key words: globular clusters - extragalactic distance scale
