Caption: Figure 8.

The locations of the 3680 NGVS galaxies classified as certain, likely, or possible members of the Virgo cluster based on the NGVS analysis (the 10 galaxies found, after the fact, to be beyond the 3500 km s⁻¹ boundary for Virgo are not included). Galaxies are plotted with sizes proportional to their geometric effective radius (elevated to the 0.8 power for ease of displaying) and are color coded according to their g-band magnitude as shown in the bar to the right (see Table 8). The black outline shows the NGVS footprint.
