Comparison of the observed stellar number density distribution of Tucana II and the simulations with the f₅ and R_1/2 parameters closest to the observed values (f₅^TucII = 10 ± 5% from Chiti et al. 2021 and $R_{1/2}^{\mathrm{TucII}}/\mathit{pc}=120\pm 30$ from Bechtol et al. 2015). Each panel shows a different simulation, as is indicated in the inset, ordered by decreasing χ² value. The green line (shaded area) gives the mode (error) of the profile for Tucana II, observed by Jensen et al. (2024). The orange line (points with bars) gives the best fit (average and standard deviation of the data points) of the profile of a simulated post-merger galaxy, obtained by adopting a two-exponential profile (Eq. (11)). The solid (dashed) gray line shows the R_⋆ (5 R_⋆) post-merger radius.
