Observed radial distribution of the specific frequency ﹩N_{\mathrm{BSS}\,}/ N_{\mathrm{HB}\,}﹩ (filled circles with error bars), as a function of ﹩r/ r_{c}﹩. The simulated distribution that best reproduces the observed one is shown as a solid line and is obtained by assuming 80% of COL‐BSSs and 20% of MT‐BSSs. The simulated distributions obtained by assuming 40% of MT‐BSSs (dashed line) and 100% COL‐BSSs (dotted line) are also shown.
