Scaling relation Mg versus Re for the MATLAS dwarfs and UDGs: The plotted quantities are based on parameters returned by the GALFIT modeling, and we have used the estimated distance to the dwarf when available and otherwise assumed that the dwarfs are at the same distance as the central ETG in the field. The nuclei of the dE,N have been fitted with a two-component (diffuse component and nucleus) model, and only the properties of the diffuse component of the galaxy are used here. The MATLAS dwarfs occupy the same parameter space as dwarfs identified in the NGVS (gray triangles; Ferrarese et al. 2020) and NGFS (inverted gray triangles; Eigenthaler et al. 2018) images, as well as Local Group dwarfs (rotated left gray triangles; McConnachie 2012) and Local Volume (rotated right gray triangles; Carlsten et al. 2020). The MATLAS UDGs occupy the same parameter space as the UDGs found in the Coma (gray cross symbols; van Dokkum et al. 2015) and Virgo cluster (gray plus symbols; Lim et al. 2020). The population of UDGs appear to simply be an extension in parameter space to the traditional dwarf population.
