摘要

Using high-resolution numerical simulations, we investigate mass- and luminosity-normalized specific frequencies (T_N and S_N, respectively) of globular cluster systems (GCSs) in order to understand the origin of the observed U-shaped relation between S_N and the V-band magnitude (M_V) of their host galaxies. We adopt a biased GC formation scenario in which GC formation is truncated in galaxy halos that are virialized at a later redshift, z_(trun). T_N is derived for galaxies with present-day GCs and converted into S_N for reasonable galaxy mass-to-light ratios (M/L). We find that T_N depends on halo mass (M_h) in the sense that T_N can be larger in more massive halos with M_h > 10~9 solar mass, if z_(trun) is as high as 15. However, we find that the dependence is too weak to explain the observed S_N-M_V relation and the wide range of S_N in low-mass early-type galaxies with -20.5 mag < M_V < -16.0 mag for a reasonable constant MIL. The M_V dependence of S_N for the low-mass galaxies can be well reproduced, if the mass-to-light ratio M_h/L_V ∝ M_h~α, where a is as steep as —1. Based on these results, we propose that the origin of the observed U-shaped S_N-M_V relation of GCSs can be understood in terms of the bimodality in the dependence of M_h/L_V on M_h of their host galaxies. We also suggest that the observed large dispersion in S_N in low-mass galaxies is due partly to the large dispersion in T_N.
