Initial masses of GCs from Baumgardt et al. (2019) for the population of GCs in the Milky Way plotted as a function of the present-day total absolute luminosity. Solid and dashed lines indicate values of ∼3 × 106 M⊙ and 9 × 105 M⊙. The filled red circle represents NGC 5024 and blue circles indicate GCs presently known to have, to some extent, a metallicity dispersion.
