On the Reionization-era Globular Cluster in the Low-mass Galaxy Eridanus II

Using color–magnitude diagrams from deep archival Hubble Space Telescope imaging, we self-consistently measure the star formation history of Eridanus II (Eri II ), the lowest-mass galaxy ( M _⋆ ( z = 0) ∼ 10 ^5 M _⊙ ) known to host a globular cluster (GC), and the age, mass, and metallicity of its G...
