Caption: Figure 4.

Image of the Virgo center overplotted with the positions of GCs. Each magenta plus sign represents a GC with velocity measurement. The dashed ellipticals indicate the contours of the GC surface number density. The central Virgo galaxies in this region have been marked out with blue ellipses. The three red circles indicate R = 30, 50, 180 kpc, and the red line indicates the orientation of the optical minor axis of M87.
