Age vs. M_V for the twelve clusters in the present study. In each panel, we also show the expectations of the median M_V , for a given age, following the results of Larsen (2009). The model disruption parameters are given at the top of each panel, where t₄ is the disruption timescale of a 10⁴ M_⊙ cluster in the mass dependent cluster disruption scenario, and F_MID is the fraction of clusters destroyed every decade in age. The dashed lines represent models with different values of the Schechter truncation mass, and the dashed-dot lines in each panel represents the case without truncation (i.e., a pure power-law). In the middle and right panels, the original data are shown in grey, while the binned data (the mean in flux and age, with the error bars representing the standard deviation) are shown as solid (blue) triangles. Two different bin sizes are shown.
