- Abstract
We make use of recent estimates for the parameters of the Milky Way's halo globular clusters and study the influence of the galactic bar on the dynamics of these clusters by computing their orbits. We use both an axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric galactic potentials, which include the rotating elongated bar/bulge structure. We account for observational errors both in the positions and in the velocities of the globular clusters and explore the influence of the bar on clusters' evolution. This is contained in the angular momentum–total energy plane, (L z , E) , which is widely exploited as an indicator of the groups of globular clusters that originated from the same accretion event. Particular attention is devoted to the Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus and Pontus structures identified recently as two independent accretion events. Our study shows that it is not possible to identify GSE and Pontus as different merger events.
