Caption: Figure 3.

Left: probability distribution functions for the ellipticity (ϵ), the position angle (θ), the angular and the physical half-mass radii (r_h) of Lae 2/Tri II (from top left to bottom right). Middle: comparison between the favored radial distribution profile (full line) and the data, binned according to the preferred structural parameters (dots). The error bars assume Poissonian uncertainties, and the dashed line represents the field density. Right: probability distribution function of the absolute magnitude of Lae 2/Tri II in the V band (M_V = −1.8 ± 0.5).
