Notes. The meaning of the columns is as follows. 1) Cluster name; 2) distance of the clusters from the sun; 3) distance from Milky Way center; 4) absolute total V band magnitude, used to derive the mass assuming M/L = 1 in solar units; 5) cluster mass from luminosity in solar masses; 6) radius where the acceleration is a0 = 1.2 × 10-8 cm s-2; 7) cluster tidal radius from Harris 1996; 8) radius where the velocity dispersion profile flattens out; 9) cluster asymptotic velocity dispersion; 10) acceleration at the radius rflat.
