Correlation of GC population size N GC vs. the dynamical mass . The data are shown separately for ellipticals, S0s, and spirals as in previous figures. In each panel the solid diagonal line shows the best-fit solution for the luminous E galaxies as discussed in the text, i.e., excluding the dwarfs. In the middle panel, the dashed line is the E-galaxy solution shifted downward by 0.2 dex, while in the lower panel the dashed line is the E line shifted downward by 0.3 dex (see text).
