Abstract
It is well-known that LMC globular clusters have in general high ellipticities in counterpart to the galactic ones. The authors fit ellipses to the isophotal contours of the clusters. They agree with previous works concerning variation of ellipticity. They also found that position angles do vary in some of them. A pattern in the distribution of these parameters was observed. The authors believe that such variations (specially of position angles) may be evidence of the triaxiality of the actual cluster shape.Similar Articles
