Illustration of the adopted Galactic and GC models. The left panel provides a schematic representation of the Galaxy model adopted for the simulations, including both the thick and thin disc plus the halo, while the bulge is modelled as part of the Galactic disc. The right panel illustrates the GC model. The simulated cluster is located at 4 kpc from the Galactic centre and is assumed to orbit it on the plane of the disc.
