Distribution of the effective radii of E, cD, dE, cE and Im galaxies modeled as a single Sérsic profile (crosses), and the disk effective radii for spiral and lenticular EFIGI galaxies (dots), as a function of the angular diameter distance D_ang. Depending on the Hubble type, either radius can be considered as an estimate of the galaxy size. Left panel shows the physical radii, while the right panel shows the angular radii. The points are also color-coded with the absolute magnitude in the g band. This graph shows that selection effects affecting the EFIGI sample leads to larger/brighter galaxies of a given type being preferentially located at large distances, and having preferentially small angular radii.
