Stellar orbit distribution of 15 compact ETGs (Yıldırım et al. 2017) obtained from the best-fitting orbit superposition model. The colour represents stellar orbit probability density in the phase space of the time-averaged radius r versus circularity λz, p(r, λz), as indicated by the colour bar. The vertical dashed lines indicate r = 2.5 kpc, while the horizontal line indicates λz = 0.5. We define the bulge, disk, and the hot inner stellar halo within rmax = 7 kpc, as illustrated in the top left panel. The seven galaxies highlighted with red squares have a significant fraction of disk and a very low fraction of hot inner stellar halo.
