Scientific paper

A large number of SMC globular clusters of all evolutionary ages have been examined on 1.2-m UK Schmidt Telescope photographic plates of the same colour but different exposure times in order to derive their density profiles by means of star counts. Five clusters out of 32 were found to show differences in the slope of their radial density profiles. The observed differences in the radial density distributions give strong evidence for differences in the radial distribution of stars with various masses, the so-called "segregation effect".
