Abstract

We found that the script to determine the masses of the stars contains two errors. This script and a related one have been used to determine masses of globular cluster stars and distances to field stars in 12 papers published between 1990 and 2014. While the numerical values need to be revised none of the conclusions are affected. We provide the updated numerical values and figures for all 12 publications here. In addition we describe the effects on those refereed publications that used the distances to the field stars.
