Hi Alex,
Where a cluster may be transitioning from one classification to another (e.g. open cluster to glob) there will be conflicting designations by various sources.
For some of these clusters, it is not always clear-cut as to what they are and there will be on-going debate. And a previously classified glob may have it's status reversed by some other defined set of conditions.
One study on the cluster(s) may not be sufficient for the scientific community to generally accept the results as definitive. It may take time before other researchers tie in results that can confirm the proposed status. That is why I asked the question about who is confirming the glob status.
Regards, Rob
