Abstract:

We present Gemini/GMOS spectroscopy for globular clusters (GCs) in several elliptical galaxies. In this talk, we will focus on the GC and stellar kinematics (rotation, velocity dispersion, and orbital structure), and host galaxy dark matter halo properties (see contribution by Forbes on the GC stellar population properties).
