Caption: Figure 12.

Velocity dispersion anisotropy β parameter as a function of radius r. The red circle indicates the β value for the M2M model constrained by the SAURON data, blue solid and dashed lines are the β profile of our GC model and its corresponding uncertainty, black solid and dashed lines are the stellar β profile from M2011 and with its uncertainty, and green diamonds are from the GC models of M2011.
