Ancient Globular Formation

NGC 1705 and its supercluster.

- We can find virial velocities this high in the potential dark matter wells of dwarf galaxies.

- Potential formation mechanism for ancient, metal-poor halo globulars.

- Observational support from NGC 1705, which appears to be a dwarf galaxy in the process of forming a very young supercluster.
