Abstract

Deep imaging data in the I bandpass for three globular clusters were used to construct their luminosity and mass functions. These new data for ω Cen, M5, and NGC 6752, together with existing data for M13, NGC 6397, and M71 were then employed to investigate any symptomatics of the cluster mass function slopes and their evolution. A related question also considered was the relation between the currently observed and the IMF slopes.
