Description
Observations of NGC 5128 (Cen A) show that this giant elliptical galaxy contains few globular clusters. The fact that the number of globular clusters per unit luminosity in E galaxies has a range of approximately 102 indicates that different ellipticals were formed in differing physical environments. It is pointed out that more data on the frequency with which globular clusters occur in elliptical galaxies might place interesting constraints on theories of galaxy clustering. (Auth.)
