. N OTE: . Only clusters with R<60 kpc were used to compute the spatial parameters and metallicity gradients for all subsystems except the corona. The numbers in parantheses give the number of clusters for which the corresponding parameter is known. The X O scale length of the old halo is strongly distorted by the observed asymmetry of the distribution of the corresponding clusters projected onto the XY plane ( Fig. 4А ) . discussion in the text | previous table .
