dE samples/correlation - similar to PNe

Same code/method as with the PNe, but using dE instead.

Analysis on complete dE catalog
Analysis on only the dE/N sample

Combining regions around dE and dE/N



Here are two overall pictures of the distribution of dE from "Luminosity function of the Virgo Cluster" (Trentham+, 2002).
dE - green                            dE/I - blue                           dE/N - magneta






For each field, and for whole images, here is a list of how many dE there are:
Field
# dE (all)
# dE/N
# dE/I
# dE

0



7
6



Core
0



FCJ
1



LPC
0



Sub
2



M87
60



Virgo
68




So, for the most part the analysis is only run on 7, M87, and Virgo fields (M87 being the image used in the isophote/ellipse/etc fits, and Virgo being VirgoMosaicFinal.fits)
