. Transparent coloured areas represent the limit of orbital parameters for GE/S GCs based on the publications from Table 2. The GC colour coding corresponds to the legend from Fig. 3. Black dots show the GC position today. GCs Palomar 2, Palomar 15, and NGC 6101 are not shown in the bottom row for pre-set 4 due to their outside position on a plot boundaries (they have very large r_apo values).
