6. Abstract

We propose to study the globular cluster systems of approximately twenty edge-on,
low mass, late type spiral galaxies using archival ACS snapshot data. This sample of
galaxies falls in a range of masses and morphologies neglected by previous studies.
Analysis of this sample will enable us to study variations in globular cluster
system properties and their correlation with galaxy mass and morphology.
Specifically, we will be able to address the correlation of metal-rich clusters with
bulge mass, the possible increase of specific frequencies at lower galaxy masses and
the galaxy mass dependence of globular cluster destruction mechanisms.
