Abstract

Globular clusters have played an important role in the study of the processes that led to the formation of our Galaxy. Moreover, the dual Galactic globular cluster system is considered a manifestation of its hierarchical formation in the context of the Λ-CDM scenario. Wide-field imaging - as the one obtained in our work - and follow-up spectroscopy are crucial tools to unveil the remnants of their progenitor dwarf galaxies, in some cases unknown stellar systems already assimilated by the Milky Way.
