Photometric properties and origin of bulges in SB0 galaxies
Photometric properties and origin of bulges in SB0 galaxies
We have derived the photometric parameters for the structural components of a sample of fourteen SB0 galaxies by applying a parametric photometric decomposition to their observed I-band surface brightness distribution. We find that SB0 bulges are similar to bulges of the early-type unbarred spirals, i.e. they have nearly exponential surface …
