Stacked radial distribution of the GC number density of dwarf galaxies (14 galaxies with stellar masses of M* > 107 M⊙) for GCs brighter than IE = 23 (upper panel) and GCs brighter than IE = 24.5 (lower panel). The GC radial distance from the centres of their host galaxies (x-axis) is normalised to the host galaxy’s effective radius (Re). The GC number density (y-axis) represents sum of GCs around all the 14 dwarf galaxies has the unit of . For a typical dwarf galaxy with Re = 1 kpc this unit corresponds to kpc−2 . The red-dashed curve demonstrates the best-fit Sérsic profile for the binned data and the displayed error bars. The errors correspond to Poisson uncertainties of the number of GCs normalised to the unit area.
