Scientific paper

The structural parameters of 20 star clusters of different types in the SMC have been obtained by means of star counts. Tidal and core radii of the clusters have been found and their masses are calculated. The derived masses are found to be about 10 times smaller than those in our Galaxy. The concentration parameters of the 'red' clusters are comparable to values found in globular clusters of our own Galaxy, whereas the 'blue' clusters do not appear similar to open clusters, showing globular cluster dynamical behavior.
