Title:The Globular Cluster System of The Elliptical Galaxy NGC2986

Abstract:
We are using deep, wide-field V and I images of NGC2986 taken with 
Magellan/IMACS at Las Campanas Observatory, Chile. We analyze the color 
distribution of the GCS using a KMM test, which shows that the system is 
clearly bimodal as frequently found in early-type galaxies. In addition, we 
have derived a radial profile of the cluster candidates. By means of a 
comparison field, we are able to estimate the level of contamination with high 
confidence. Also, we study the azimuthal distribution and the Luminosity 
Function to get an estimate of the distance of NGC2986.
