Global survey of star clusters in the Milky Way III: kinematics and fundamental parameters of globular clusters
Abstract
This paper reports some results of the global survey of the Milky Way Star Clusters (MWSC), in part concerning globular clusters. Out of 158 presently known globular clusters we studied 142 objects, and additionally classified as globulars three other objects, increasing the total number of studied clusters to 145. Using our standard within the MWSC project pipeline, modified to accept different metallicities, we have selected cluster members, and determined spatial, kinematic and astrophysical parameters of the clusters. We analyse the evolutionary changes of the subsystem of the Galactic globular clusters and compare the findings with data on the subsystem of open clusters.
