Abstract
Zinn: It appears to me that most, if not all, of the evidence that the globular clusters constitute a more distended and bluer population than the halo stars comes from observations of elliptical galaxies. Most of the evidence that globular clusters and halo stars are very similar in metallicity, spatial distribution, and kinematics comes from observations of one disk galaxy, the Milky Way. Is there an example of a disk galaxy in which the globular cluster population is definitely more distended and bluer than the population of halo stars?
