Background fits for the LMC clusters

LMC 351 - 375
The range of the horizontal axis is 0″ to 200″ for all clusters. The range of the vertical axis is ± 20% of the cluster's background value, and so is different for each cluster. The solid line marks the adopted background value, which is usually the median within the background annulus described in the text. The short and long dashed lines denote ± 1% and ± 10% of the central surface brightness. Sky uncertainties that are small relative to the central brightness of the cluster have little impact on the derived cluster parameters.
