(a) (V/σ)e and (b) specific angular momentum as a function of effective ellipticity. The red star indicates MCG+08-16-005. The dashed curve represents the separation between slow and fast rotators (﹩{\lambda }_{{\rm{Re}}}=0.31\sqrt{{\epsilon }_{{\rm{e}}}}﹩). Red, yellow, and green circles represent dwarf early type galaxies (dEs) located at distances of <2 deg, 2 deg ≤ D < 5.4 deg, and >5.4 deg from the center of the Virgo cluster, respectively. Blue circles indicate Sm-type galaxies.
