Caption: Figure 3.

Posterior probability distribution from a maximum-likelihood fit for the systemic velocity and velocity dispersion (left set of panels) and the mean metallicity and metallicity dispersion (right set of panels) of Tuc III. In the upper left panels the 68% confidence intervals on the mean velocity and metallicity are indicated by the dashed gray lines. In the lower right panels the 95.5% upper limits on the velocity and metallicity dispersion are indicated by the dashed gray lines. We do not significantly resolve either the velocity dispersion or the metallicity dispersion of Tuc III.
