| Abstract | We present an implementation of the matched-filter technique to detect tidal tails of globular clusters. The method was tested using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data for the globular cluster Palomar 5 revealing its well-known tidal tails. We also ran a simulation of a globular cluster with a tidal tail where we successfully recover the tails for a cluster at the same position and with the same characteristics of NGC 2298. Based on the simulation we estimate that the matched-filter increases the contrast of the tail relative to the background of stars by a factor of 2.5 for the case of NGC 2298 ... |
