Top panel: the (spherically averaged) matter densities for the dE sample that we obtained from the best AIC p model found for each dE. Solid curves: the stellar density (including the ϒ* gradients). Dashed curves: the corresponding dark matter halo density as modeled by the Zhao parameterization (Equation (2)). Bottom panel: the cumulative dark matter fraction f DM within radius r. The dots highlight the value of f DM at one stellar effective radius; the typical radial extent of the kinematic data is 1.0r e.
