Half-light radius, Re, and Sérsic index, n, in five HSC bands for 26 912 quiescent galaxies. These galaxies have morphological measurements in all five bands and Re exceeds half of the seeing FWHM. The central panel shows the distributions of r-band in the Re − n plane. Galaxies (points) are segregated into two classes of Dn4000: 1.5 < Dn4000 < 1.6 (dark blue) and Dn4000 > 1.6 (green). Black contours show the probability density of HectoMAP galaxies in the Re − n plane derived from a Gaussian kernel estimator (KDE). The largest to the smallest contour enclose regions where the probability density exceeds the 10th to the 90th percentiles of the distribution. The upper and right panels show the marginal distributions in Re and n, respectively, color-coded by the HSC band. The equivalently color-coded dashed lines indicate the medians of these distributions. To improve readability, the central panel displays a randomly selected 30% of the total sample. Histograms and isocurves are based on the total samples.
