ASPECTS OF THE EVOLUTION OF THE GALACTIC GLOBULAR CLUSTER SYSTEM

We investigate the evolution of systems of globular clusters located in a model
of the Milky Way starting from different initial conditions for the mass
function of the system and for the distribution of concentrations of individual
clusters. In particular, we study the role of the evolutionary processes in
changing the spatial distribution and the mass function of the cluster system,
in establishing  and/or preserving some of the observed correlations and trends
between internal properties of globular clusters and between internal
properties and location inside the host galaxy and we provide an estimate for
the rates of core collapse and disruption of globular clusters.
