Fraction of star clusters that are gravitationally bound by time t in the external tidal field of a galaxy as functions of the galactocentric radius Rg, initial cluster mass Mecl and metallicity Z. The galactocentric radius Rg of the orbit is indicated by the line thickness (thick – 4 kpc; medium – 8 kpc; thin – 12 kpc), the cluster mass is indicated by the line colour (cyan – 100 M; magenta – 400 M; black – 1600 M), and the metallicity for the models with Rg = 8 kpc is indicated by the line style (solid – Z = 0.014; dashed – Z = 0.006; dotted – Z = 0.002).
