Scientific paper

An investigation of the star clusters in the outermost areas of the LMC has started in order to examine the observed dynamical properties of the halo globular clusters in this galaxy. A first sample of 38 clusters have been measured by means of star counts on plates taken with the 1.2 m U.K. Schmidt telescope. The derived tidal radii and masses are comparable to those found for the disk young clusters of the LMC and those of the galactic globulars.
