摘要

We study properties of globular cluster candidates (GCCs) and the diffuse stellar populations in nearby low surface brightness dwarf galaxies, using HST WFPC2 photometry in the V and I bands. Our sample consists of 18 dwarf spheroidal (dSph), 36 dwarf irregular (dlrr), and 3 transition-type galaxies, with projected linear diameters less than 3.5 kpc and mean blue surface brightness > 23 mag/arcsec~2 situated at the distance 2-6 Mpc in the field and in nearby groups. Our sample dwarf spheroidal galaxies were not detected in HI and are located at the distances of up to Mpc away from a nearby bright galaxy. Transition-type galaxies, which are distributed like dSph galaxies, form a very rare class of galaxies. dlrr galaxies show a weaker concentration to the nearest massive neighbors than dSph and transition-type galaxies. At a given surface brightness and luminosity, they exhibit lower mean metallicities than dSphs. In contrast to dlrr galaxies, the majority of dSph galaxies at a similar mean surface brightness contains GCCs. The percentage of GCCs located near the centers of dSph galaxies is much higher than that for dlrr galaxies. The composite population of GCCs in dSphs is spatially more concentrated than in dlrr galaxies. The color distributions of GCCs in dSph and dlrr galaxies show major differences. While the latter shows obvious bimodality with the peaks near (V-I)0.5 and~1.0mag, the GCC color distribution in dSph galaxies shows only one peak with a mean color (V - I)_o~1.0 mag. There is a tendency of increasing half-light radii with increasing projected galactocentric distances for a large number of GCCs in dSph galaxies, which is also observed in the Galactic globular cluster system. We embarked on a spectroscopic survey of GCCs in low-mass galaxies to obtain their chemical compositions and relative ages.
