... The overall globular cluster population is divided by gap in the metallicity function at [Fe/H]=-1.0 into two discrete groups with well-defined maxima at [Fe/H]=-1.60?0.03 dex, and -0.60?0.04 dex. ... Clusters with extremely blue horizontal branches occupy a spherical volume of radius ~ 9 kpc, have high rotational velocities ( V rot =77?33 km/s), have substantial and equal negative radial and vertical metallicity gradients, and are, on average, the oldest group (the old-halo subsystem). ...

Let G be a connected semisimple algebraic group of adjoint type defined over a perfect field k . ... It follows that if G is connected semisimple of adjoint type, with -1 in its Weyl group, then every semisimple element in G(k ) is strongly real in G(k ). This also shows that any regular element in such a group is real. ...
