SUMMARY:An unevolved galaxy in our vicinity: the massive compact relic gala
 xy NGC1277
DESCRIPTION:An unevolved galaxy in our vicinity: the massive compact relic 
 galaxy NGC1277\nDr. Mike Beasley, Dr. Ignacio Trujillo\n\nThe discovery of
  relic galaxies in our nearby Universe allow us to explore the physical co
 nditions that took place at the early stages of galaxy formation (z>2) 
 with unprecedented detail. In this talk, we will describe how these object
 s have been found, what is the physical motivation to explore them and wha
 t are the most relevant results we have learnt so far. In particular, in t
 his seminar, we will focus on our recent publication in the journal Nature
 , where we study the globular cluster population of the massive compact re
 lic galaxy NGC1277 using the Hubble Space Telescope. The analysis of its g
 lobular cluster population has confirmed the extraordinary nature of this 
 object. This galaxy underwent  an early collapse phase but failed to 
 evolve and accrete smaller satellite galaxies. The study of the globular c
 luster of this system (which has no similar counterpart in the near Univer
 se) gives unique insights into the formation and evolutionary processes of
  the most massive galaxies.
