Abstract:
    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.

Description:
    The table lists the full catalogue of photometric and structural
    parameters of the objects used in this study. Given are absolute
    V-band magnitudes, effective radii, stellar masses, effective mass
    surface densities and the reference to the source paper.
