We present Hubble Space Telescope ACS/WFC and WFC3/UVIS imaging for a sample of 50 low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies in the $\sim$10$^{15}$ M$_{\odot}$ Perseus cluster, which were originally identified in ground-based imaging. We measure the structural properties of these galaxies and estimate the total number of globular clusters (GCs) they host. Around half of our sample galaxies meet the strict definition of an ultra-diffuse galaxy (UDG), while the others are UDG-like but are either somewhat more compact or slightly brighter. A small number of galaxies reveal systems with many tens of GCs, rivalling some of the richest GC systems known around UDGs in the Coma cluster. We find the sizes of rich GC systems, in terms of their half-number radii, extending to $\sim$1.2 times the half-light radii of their host galaxy on average. The mean colours of the GC systems are the same, within the uncertainties, as those of their host galaxy stars. This suggests that GCs and galaxy field stars may have formed at the same epoch from the same enriched gas. It may also indicate a significant contribution from disrupted GCs to the stellar component of the host galaxy as might be expected in the 'failed galaxy' formation scenario for UDGs.

介绍了一种通过寻找星系际球状星团中的过密度来探测超弥散星系的新方法。我们的方法是基于对数高斯考克斯过程,这是一个常用的模型在空间统计文献中,但很少用于天文学的应用。该方法适用于从PIPER调查,一个\textit{Hubble Space Telescope}成像程序针对英仙座集群获得的球状星团数据。我们成功地发现了所有已确认的超扩散星系与已知的球状星团人口的调查。我们还确定了一个潜在的星系,没有检测到弥漫恒星的内容。初步分析表明,它不太可能仅仅是一个偶然的球状星团或其他物体。如果得到证实,这将是第一个此类系统。模拟被用来评估超漫射星系内的球状星团系统的物理参数如何影响他们的可探测性使用我们的方法。我们量化了探测概率与星系中球状星团总数的相关性以及与球状星团系统半数半径增加的反相关性。球状星团分布的Sérsic指数对可探测性的影响很小。
