Cluster distances as a function of their position along the line of maximum gradient (see § 5.2). Open circles mark the old globular clusters from the studies of A. R. Walker, while the filled circles represent the populous clusters in our study. In the bottom panel, the dashed line marks the LMC’s disk with ﹩i=34.7^{\circ }﹩ and ﹩D_{0}=47.9﹩ kpc (at ﹩x=0﹩), and the dotted lines represent a disk thickness of ±1 kpc; the square denotes the center of the LMC. This plot illustrates that both the old and intermediate‐age clusters are distributed along the disk of the LMC.
