Caption: Figure 10.

Histogram showing the g-band magnitude distribution of NGVS galaxies classified as certain (Membership Class 0), likely (Membership Class 1), and possible (Membership Class 2) members, as well as galaxies found, after the fact, to have velocities that place them beyond the v = 3500 km s−1 boundary adopted for Virgo. Note that the latter histogram has been multiplied by a factor of 10 to make it easier to see it.
