Scientific paper

At a given Galactocentric distance, halo clusters on retrograde orbits
are found to have below-average radii (97% confidence). Halo globular
clusters on nearly circular orbits are seen to have above- average radii
(greater than 99% confidence). This effect might be due to tidal
stripping of clusters on elongated orbits.
