Density and enclosed-mass profiles for Crater 2's stellar and dark matter components, from our mixture model based on the Jeans equation (Section 4.5). Colored bands represent 68% credibility intervals at each radius. Crosses represent estimates of masses enclosed within spheres of radius ﹩{R}_{{\rm{h}}}﹩ (Walker et al. 2009b) and ﹩\tfrac{4}{3}{R}_{{\rm{h}}}﹩ (Wolf et al. 2010).
