Scientific paper

The results of numerical simulations of clusters of galaxies which, in turn, have globular clusters orbiting around them, have been used to investigate the spatial and projected distribution of the globulars lost by tidal stripping. The 'tramps' show a strong concentration toward the cluster center, and, in some aspects, they mimic the appearance of the globular cluster systems of giant galaxies. The projected density is rather low, however, and it seems an interesting challenge to try to find such systems through optical observations.
