Comparison between the values of the structural parameters derived from King and f(ν) best-fit models. The top left panel shows, as crosses, the values of half-mass radii, the top right panel the total masses, the bottom left panel the central mass density and the bottom right panel the mass-to-light ratios. In each panel, the x-axis refers to the values calculated with King models, and the y-axis to those calculated with f(ν) models; the dotted diagonal line denotes the identity relation. The intrinsic quantity rM would be best given in parsecs, but it is reported here in arcseconds for easier comparison with the observed profiles and with the projected half-light radius Re represented in the previous figures.
