Abstract | We present an observational estimate of the fraction and distribution of dark mass in the innermost region of the two Galactic globular clusters NGC 6218 (M12) and NGC 288 (...) We find that non-luminous matter constitutes more than 60 per cent of the total mass in the region probed by our data (...) The dark component appears to be more concentrated than the most massive stars suggesting that it is likely composed of dark remnants segregated in the cluster core. |
