Abstract
We study the effects of dynamical friction, stellar evaporation, and tidal shocks due to both, the disk and the central bulge of our galaxy, on the lobular cluster system. We use a recent compilation of globular clusters (Webbink 1984) and the model of the galaxy of Ostriker and Caldwell (1983). The destruction timescales due to each one of these processes, with the combined lifetime, is calculated statistically using a Montecarlo sampling of a kinematical model with constant rotation and velocity dispersion for the globular cluster system.
