On the density and surface brightness profiles in globular star clusters

A model of mass distribution, applicable to globular star clusters and proposed earlier, is reconsidered. It is shown that it can be related to the well-known Plummer-Schuster formula, and the equations yielding its dimensionless parameters are given. The corresponding surface density is calculated...
