Caption: Figure 8.
Twin-axis plot of orbital decay and mass loss of GCs in IC 3. Dark- and light-gray lines represent the total mass within tidal radius and 5 Re (equivalent to half-mass radius). The dashed–dotted line indicates the merger time of C1 and C2, whereas dotted lines indicate the time when each GC merged with its respective cluster.
