Notes. The “Layer” column gives the radial range within which the GCs start. Ten GCs start from each layer. The “Light (Massive) GC” refers to the 1(5)×105M GC. The columns nc, ns, and ne show the numbers of sunk (as for “core”), surviving, and escaped GCs in each layer, respectively. The asterisk symbol indicates that the numbers are assumed, without actually making the simulation. The column γ lists the geometric weights of the layers.
