Abstract
We present preliminary results on the mass function of the Galactic globular cluster NGC 1261. The mass-segregation-corrected global mass function, obtained from a sample of 9400 stars, has a slopex 0 = 1.0 ±0.5 in the mass interval 0.5 <m/m ⊙< 0.8, and follows the general dependence on the cluster position and metallicity found for a sample of 19 other globular clusters.
