Projected density profile of NGC 1754 derived from resolved star counts (empty circles). The horizontal dashed line represents the mean LMC field density, which was subtracted to obtain the background-subtracted profile (filled circles). The solid red line illustrates the best-fit King model, while the red shading indicates the ± 1 σ range of solutions. Vertical lines denote the core radius (dashed line), half-mass radius (dot-dashed line), and tidal radius (dotted line), with their respective 1 σ uncertainties indicated by the gray shading.
