Description


We present a database of structural and dynamical properties for 153 spatially resolved star clusters in the Milky Way, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, and the Fornax dwarf spheroidal. This database complements and extends others in the literature, such as those of Harris (Cat. <VII/202>) and Mackey & Gilmore (2003MNRAS.338...85M, 2003MNRAS.338..120M, 2003MNRAS.340..175M). Our cluster sample comprises 50 "young massive clusters" in the LMC and SMC, and 103 old globular clusters between the four galaxies. The parameters we list include central and half-light-averaged surface brightnesses and mass densities; core and effective radii; central potentials, concentration parameters, and tidal radii; predicted central velocity dispersions and escape velocities; total luminosities, masses, and binding energies; central phase-space densities; half-mass relaxation times; and "{kappa}-space" parameters.
