The present results strongly favors a much larger destruction of star clusters in the past. The whole spheroidal population of stars in the galaxy can be accounted for by the remnants of the disrupted globular clusters. Most of the numerical work on superconductors neglects the effective anisotropy in real systems due to the direction of the magnetic field. While it is generally assumed that this anisotropy is irrelevant, this had not previously been shown. In our current work with a more realistic anisotropic model, we wish to resolve this question.
Preliminary results indicate that the anisotropy is indeed irrelevant.
