Some of the properties of the globular clusters in NGC 5128 are compared tothose of Galactic globular clusters. Assuming the color- metallicity relationsthat hold for Galactic globular clusters then the metal-poor clusters in NGC5128 that have [Fe/H] < -1.80 are significantly fainter than are the moremetal-rich globulars in that galaxy. No such metallicity dependent luminositydifference is observed among the globular clusters associated with the MilkyWay. Furthermore the NGC 5128 cluster sample contains two objects that, on thebasis of their observed colors, appear to be super metal-poor. It is speculatedthat many of these apparently faint and metal-poor clusters in NGC 5128 areactually objects resembling intermediate-age Galactic open clusters. It is alsofound that large clusters with FWHM > 10 pc are typically less luminous in NGC5128 than are their more more compact counterparts. In this respect the NGC5128 cluster system is similar to the Galactic globular cluster system.Finally, the present data may hint at the possibility that the NGC 5128 clustersystem differs from that surrounding the Milky Way, in that the NGC 5128objects do not seem to exhibit a clear cut gap between the regions of the FWHMvs M_v plane that are occupied by globular clusters and dwarf spheroidalgalaxies.Comment: To be published in the Astronomical Journa
