Notes. Columns list: cluster name, present heliocentric distance and Galactocentric distance, orbital pericenter and apocenter distances, semi-major axis, orbital inclination, eccentricity, radial angle in action-angle coordinates, angular momentum along the z-axis, and total orbital energy. All parameters are taken directly from, or calculated based on, the values provided in 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.
