Abstract

AbstractWe evaluate the nature of bulges in the Hubble sequence, based on an analysis of 216 disk galaxies of all morphological types (S0-Sd). For this purpose we collect our various analysis made separately for early and late-type galaxies, published in a series of papers. Using the criteria by Kormendy & Kennicutt we find strong evidence of pseudobulges in all Hubble types, including S0s. However, due to the relatively massive bulges in S0-S0/a galaxies it is not probable that the (pseudo)bulges in these galaxies were formed in a similar manner as in spirals. More likely, pseudobulges particularly in strongly barred early-type disk galaxies are suggested to be a combination of star formation and the nearly exponential central components of bars.
