Distances to globular cluster-rich UDGs: The case of NGC1052-DF2
Some ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) are known to host very large globular cluster (GC) systems, clearly exceeding the expectations for galaxies with such low stellar mass and density and thereby challenging our understanding of star cluster formation and its connection to galaxy evolution. As bright point-sources, GCs in UDGs have been used as
