Caption: Figure 7.

Inspiral of a ~106M globular cluster in a Milky Way model. The linear size of each box is 20 pc; the time separation between each snapshot is 5 × 105 yr. The blue filled circle marks the galactic MBH position. Curves show the contours of the projected density of the background galaxy. Red points represent the globular cluster BHs; black dots the cluster stars.
