Descripción
The HST/ACS Survey of Galactic Globular Clusters includes F606W and F814W observations of 66 clusters (Sarajedini et al. 2007). We present new global mass functions (MFs) for a significant sub-sample of clusters in the survey. We also present updated core radii, tidal radii, and concentrations for many of these clusters. This new information allows us to probe correlations between the properties of the present-day stellar population, structural parameters, and the cluster's external environment.
