Notes. Columns 2-5 give the values for central density ( $\rho_0$ ), core-radius ( $r_{\rm c}$ ), distance (d), and absolute visual magnitude ( $M_{\rm V}$ ) come from Harris (1996, version of February 2003). For M 4, the values of $\rho_0$ and $M_{\rm V}$ are computed for the distance and reddening of Richer et al. (1997). Columns 6 and 7 are the collision number, which is computed from $\Gamma \equiv \rho_0^{1.5}\ r_{\rm c}^2$ and the half mass from $M_{\rm h} \propto 10^{-0.4M_V}$ (Kong et al. 2006). Values for $\Gamma$ and $M_{\rm h}$ are normalized to the value of M 4. Column 8 shows the total number of sources detected within the half-mass radius. Column 9 is the number of expected fore/background sources. Column 10 gives the number of expected cluster members plus error. Column 11 shows the number of X-ray sources (with $L_{\rm X,0.5{-}6.0~keV} > 4\times10^{30}$ erg s^-1) which have optical or/and radio counterparts associated with the cluster, or spectrally confirmed qLMXBs. The last column gives the reference paper. These globular clusters are ordered on the central density.
^(a) For each cluster, the basic data for this table were extracted from: 1. Pooley et al. (2003); 2. Cocozza et al. (2008); 3. Trepl (2007); 4. Heinke et al. (2005); 5. Becker et al. (2003); 6. Bassa et al. (2004); 7. this work; 8. Bassa et al. (2008); 9. Kong et al. (2006). ^(b) NGC 288 was not observed long enough to reach this luminosity limit of $L_{\rm X} \sim 4.0 \times 10^{30}$ erg s^-1 in the 0.5-6.0 keV range. Its limiting luminosity is $\sim$ $5.7 \times 10^{30}$ erg s^-1. However, we keep this cluster's data, as a lower limit, since we have so few constraints on low-density clusters. ^(c) No information about the optical counterparts to X-ray sources.
