Abstract

This paper provides a new catalog of orbits and their parameters for a practically complete list of currently known galactic globular clusters (GCs), compiled by Vasiliev (2019) based on the most accurate modern measurements of their velocities and positions. The integration of the orbits of 152 globular clusters for 5 Gyr was performed using the new average proper motions obtained from the Gaia EDR3 catalog (Vasiliev and Baumgardt, 2021) and new average distances (Baumgardt and Vasiliev, 2021) in the axisymmetric three-component potential with spherical bulge, disk component, and spherical dark Navarro-Frank-White halo (Bajkova and Bobylev, 2016). The new orbital parameters are compared with the orbital parameters constructed by us earlier (Bajkova and Bobylev, 2021) in the same gravitational potential using proper motions obtained from the Gaia DR2 catalog (Vasiliev, 2019) and with the distances from the Harris catalog (2010).
