Enchilada,
I found your pdf article most interesting, along with this entire thread.
I do have a few questions to put forward:
*you mentioned little gaseous residue has been found in globular cores, is there any evidence of a residual 'tail' of hot gas behind the orbit of these?
*Open clusters are often filled with gas and dust, can we see much evidence of its discipation, or is it eventually just 'swallowed up' by the component stars?
*would Eliptical galaxies be 'over grown' globulars? I can follow the thinking of the dynamics holding GC's together, even irregular galaxies, but elipticals escape me.
*I believe that a planetary nebula has been found in a GC, if so wouldn't it be exibiting tell-tale signs of gravitational influence from neighbouring stars to guide the theories of GC structure?
