V vs. ﹩V-I﹩ diagram of clusters detected in NGC 5195. Clusters that have measured sizes less than 5 pc are shown as the smallest filled circles, clusters with sizes between 5–10 pc as the intermediate‐size circles, and clusters with sizes between 10 and 15 pc as the largest circles. The dashed lines mark the approximate color and magnitude boundary found for faint fuzzy star clusters in NGC 1023 (Larsen & Brodie 2000). The majority of the detected clusters within this box have reff measurements of 7 pc and greater.
