Radial surface brightness profiles of the six new BL Lac objects (squares with error bars), with best‐fit model (solid line) consisting of PSF (dotted line) plus galaxy (de Vaucouleurs profile convolved with PSF; dashed line). Red objects from our program are shown at the left; our analysis of blue objects from the Jannuzi program are shown at the right. Profiles of the other three red objects in our program appear in Paper I and are essentially unchanged.
