Notes. Columns list: cluster name, King and dynamical tidal radii, present-day cluster mass (logarithmic scale), central escape velocity, central concentration, ratio of half-mass radius to dynamical tidal radius, mass-loss fraction, metallicity, relaxation–age ratio, classification type, and possible progenitor system. Among them,
, c and [Fe/H] are taken from the Harris catalog (Harris 1996, 2010 edition); the classification type and progenitor system are derived in this work; all other parameters are taken from, or computed using, the globular cluster database used in this study.
Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.
Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
