This short exposure taken with the Kitt Peak 4-meter telescope clearly shows the large number of globular clusters that are associated with M87, the brightest elliptical galaxy in the Virgo cluster. The galaxy is also famous for having an active nucleus in which an outflow of collimated material is emanating. Note the very bright nucleus in the short exposure picture of M87 that helps to reveal the jet. M87 may mark the dynamical center of the Virgo cluster.

... We address a question if globular clusters (GC) in a protogalaxy could for some time evolve chemically as isolated systems, enriching themselves with heavy elements produced in first supernova events that follow initial star formation. We determine both the critical mass of a protoglobular cluster that is needed to retain the ejecta of the very first supernova, and the critical energy (i.e., number of supernovae) that is needed to expel the residual gas from a cluster of a given mass. ...
