Mass ratio M/M_* as a function of the 2D ellipticity ϵ_2D measured on three random projections (indicated with increasingly large symbol size) for the end products of models with initially cold (K₀ = 0) Hernquist profiles (γ = 1) with frozen (squares) and live (circles) Hernquist DM halos and in MOND (diamonds) (see rows 7, 9, and 22 in Table 1), and as a function of the deprojected ellipticity for different choices of the inclination angle θ (dots) and their average value (right panel). For comparison, in both panels the dashed line and the orange shaded area mark the Deur (2014) relation, while the vertical red dashed lines indicate the limit ellipticity 0.7.
