ESO 280-SC06 is a tidally disrupted globular cluster that has lost almost all its mass, observations reveal
Using the Magellan Telescopes at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile, astronomers have performed a chemical study of a globular cluster known as ESO 280-SC06. As a result, they found that ESO 280-SC06 is a tidally disrupted cluster that was once massive but has lost at least 95% of its initial mass. The new findings were published June 18 on the arXiv pre-print server.
