摘要：

NGC 5128, as the nearest large elliptical (D similar to 3.5 Mpc), is an excellent galaxy for studies of extragalactic globular clusters (GCs). We present the spatial distribution and kinematics of 207 GCs in NGC 5128, making this one of the largest samples of spectroscopically confirmed GCs. We have also identified a young stellar tidal stream in the halo. This stream contains a 350 Myr old star cluster that may be a proto-GC.
