Abstract:

Thirty eight remote LMC clusters randomly distributed around the LMC rotation centre were measured by means of star counts in plates taken with the 1.2 m U.K. Schmidt telescope to derive their tidal radii and total masses. Seven of these clusters were found to violate the usual picture of a conventional density profile.
