Globular clusters as tracers of stellar bimodality in elliptical galaxies: The case of NGC 1399
Globular cluster systems (GCSs) frequently show a bimodal distribution of cluster integrated colours. This work explores the arguments to support the idea that the same feature is shared by the diffuse stellar population of the galaxy they are associated with. The particular case of NGC 1399, one of...
