Abstract

In this research note I update the associations between globular clusters and their putative galaxy progenitors determined in Massari et al. (2019), based on the kinematic measurements from the Gaia early data release 3 (eDR3, Gaia Collaboration et al. 2021). The table with the associations is available at https://www.oas.inaf.it/en/research/m2-en/carma-en/, and will be kept up-to-date whenever improved data become available. The same table will also provide updated age estimates from the CARMA project (see Massari et al. 2023). Please cite this Note alongside Massari, Koppelman & Helmi 2019, eDR3 edition.
