Description
We present a complete picture of dynamically hot stellar systems, ranging from faint galaxies and star clusters of only a few hundred solar masses up to giant elliptical galaxies, in particular including large samples of compact elliptical galaxies (cEs), ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs), dwarf elliptical galaxies (dEs) of nearby galaxy clusters, and Local Group ultra-faint dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs). For all those stellar systems we show the effective radius-luminosity, effective radius-stellar mass, and effective mass surface density-stellar mass plane.
