Globular cluster half-number radius (RGC, top panel) and ratio between the GC half-number radius and the average of the effective radius of the host galaxies (RGC/⟨Re⟩, bottom panel) as functions of the stellar mass of the host galaxies (M*) for all dwarf galaxies in the sample. The values are estimated from stacked GC radial profiles that we fit with a Sérsic function, with a Sérsic index fixed to n = 1 (see text). The shaded region around each line represent the 68% percentiles of the estimated average value. The dashed lines show the trends one would expect from a simple extension of the equations in Lim et al. 2024, that were derived for GCs in massive galaxies, to our lower mass regime (an extrapolation beyond the range examined by these authors).
