Scientific paper

The authors have calculated mass-segregation corrections for globular cluster mass functions using multicomponent King models with power law mass functions. They present plots of the results and discuss their applicability to real clusters. Applying the corrections to eight observed mass functions, the authors find that the corrected mass-function exponents still show the previously reported intrinsic variation among globular clusters and the correlation of that variation with metallicity.
