Abstract

This communication will be focused upon two main topics: IR observations of Globular Clusters (GC) from the space and the reliability of the mass segregation corrections for Luminosity Functions (LF), observed far away from the half mass radius. The effects of the mass segregation corrections on the correlations among Global Mass Functions (GMF) of the GCs and their kinematical parameters will be finally discussed
