Description


We present the first dynamical study of the globular cluster system of NGC 4636. It is the southernmost giant elliptical galaxy of the Virgo cluster and is claimed to be extremely dark matter dominated, according to X-ray observations. Globular clusters are used as dynamical tracers to investigate, by stellar dynamical means, the dark matter content of this galaxy. Several hundred medium resolution spectra were acquired at the VLT with FORS 2/MXU. We obtained velocities for 174 globular clusters in the radial range 0.90'<R<15.5', or 0.5-9R_e_ in units of effective radius. Assuming a distance of 15Mpc, the clusters are found at projected galactocentric distances in the range 4 to 70kpc, the overwhelming majority within 30kpc. The measured line-of-sight velocity dispersions are compared to Jeans-models.
