Radial density profile of Palomar 14. Open circles are from Trager et al. (1995), while filled circles are from this work. The best-fit King (1966; solid line), Wilson (1975; dashed line) and Plummer (1911; dotted line) models are indicated (see Table 1). A constant background has been assumed (see the text). The locations of the core and tidal radii are indicated together with the maximum Roche lobe and the break radii (vertical arrows).
