We found that the SGB split can be followed all the way from the cluster center out to at least 8′ from the center. Beyond this distance out to the tidal radius at ∼ 11.7 arcmin, there are simply too few SGB stars to identify the sequences. The number ratio of the bright SGB to the faint SGB stars shows no significant radial trend. Furthermore, we have found that the ratio of blue horizontal-branch (HB) stars plus RR Lyrae to the red HB stars also remains constant from the cluster center to the outer envelope.Keywords: Cluster centers; Globular clusters; Ground-based data; Radial distributions; Stars: Hertzsprung-russell and C-M diagrams; Stars: Population II; Stellar populations; Stars Stars: Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) and C-M diagrams; Stars: Population II200910.1051/0004-6361/2009122562016-02-24
