Abstract
CCD images to study the dynamical substructure of the globular cluster
M5. We investigate the radial variation of ellipticities and position
angles using the stellar photometry and the IRAF ellipse task. We find
that out to three times the half light radius (rh), the
changes in ellipticities and position angles range in 0.05˜0.25
and 75° ˜ -75°, respectively. There are no significant
discrepancy in the dynamical substructure beyond rh among the
different giant populations. However, compared to the global dynamical
substructure of M5, the inner (
