IMF mismatch parameter plotted against [Fe/H] (left), [Mg/Fe], (middle), and σ (right) for the two-component power-law IMF. Values shown are for M59-UCD3 (red squares), the M31 GCs (purple circles), and M32 (green triangles). We show the full sample of ETG local values from van Dokkum et al. (2017; open gray circles).
