The Influence of Bulge Profile Shapes on Claims for a Scale-free Hubble Sequence for Spiral Galaxies
We investigate recent claims that the Hubble sequence of spiral galaxies is scale-free. Fundamental to this investigation is the fact that within the photometric data of 86 spiral galaxies from de Jong & van der Kruit-from which these claims were made-a trend exists between morphological type and bulge profile shape. While late-type spiral bulges
