The Structural and Kinematical Properties of NGC 5634, a Globular Cluster Associated with the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy?

We investigate the origin of NGC 5634 through a comprehensive analysis of its morphology, kinematics, and dynamics. Utilizing data from the DESI Legacy Survey, we refined its fundamental parameters (age τ = 12.8 ± 0.3 Gyr, metallicity [Fe/H] = −1.8 ± 0.1 dex, distance modulus dm = 17.0 ± 0.1 mag) an...
