摘要
Observations of rich LMC and SMC clusters reveal an increasing spread in core radius (r(c)) with age. This trend likely represents real physical evolution in these systems. Old clusters appear either large or small. Similar r(c) distributions are observed for the Fornax and Sagittarius dSph cluster systems and in the "young" halo Milky Way subsystem. These observations have implications for the formation of the Galaxy and the dynamical evolution of globular clusters.
