Preliminary results of observations of 11 globular clusters made with the aid of a narrow long slit are presented. The photometric profiles were recorded directly in the operational store of a computer with the telescope stopped om iits motion about the polar axis. The photometric profile obtained were compared with King´s models and with the generalized sychrone model. The finite length and width of the slit were considered. The theoretical brightness distribution agrees well with observation in the central regions of the clusters at R < 3´- 5´. The radii of cores Rc and the effective radii Re were determined. Large-scale fluctuations of density, possible caused by bright stars, or by fluctuations of the abundant galactic background, were observed in clusters M12, M13 and NGC 6712.
On 19th February 2016 exactly 100 years passed since the death of Ernst Mach, the great physicist and philosopher of the 19th and 20th centuries, a native of Brno-Chrlice. On the occasion of this anniversary, Masaryk University and other institutions organised Ernst Mach Brno-Days 2016 with the conference "Ernst Mach: Physics - Philosophy - Technics" and other events. The presented brief report informs about these events. and Jana Musilová.
