Surface number density maps of dEs in the Virgo Cluster. Flat dEs are shown in the left panel and round dEs in the right panel. The maps are constructed using a two-dimensional Gaussian kernel density estimation (KDE) with a kernel width of 0﹩\mathop{.}\limits^{^\circ }﹩175 = 50 kpc. The color bar indicates the normalized surface density. Small gray points represent individual dEs used to generate the density maps, while large black circles mark massive galaxies.
