Notes. Core radius rc and central density ρc from Harris (1996, update of 2010), with “c” indicating a core-collapsed cluster. The disruption rate γ is scaled on the value for M 4, from Eq. (2). Numbers Ns of single pulsars and Nb of pulsars in binaries from www.naic.edu/~pfreire/GCpsr.html (retrieved 7 Sep. 2012).
