Abstract

Globular clusters generally appear in two sub-populations: a blue, metal-poor and a red, metal-rich one, with the blue clusters ≈ 20% larger than their red counterparts. We discuss that this size difference can at least partially be attributed to an apparent effect caused by a combination of mass segregation and stellar evolution.
