Abstract: | Two-dimensional bulge/disk light decomposition with GIM2D in both the r-and g-bands has been applied to a sample of 129 early-type galaxies brighter than 13.5 magnitude in the r-band,selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 2.Intensity-weighted Fourier coefficient (a4/a) was also derived for each sample galaxy.Our analysis shows that and between bulge and disk scale sizes.Isophotal shape parameter (a4/a) is not correlated with BIT and nB.Both bulge and disk components satisfy a color-magnitude relation.The k space Fundamental Plane analysis shows that galaxies with larger B/T tend to lie tighter and closer to the line of k1 k2=8 (the so-called "zone of avoidance") than the galaxies with smaller B/T.It indicates that existence of the disk component may lead to scatter of the distribution on the Fundamental Plane.Our analysis also shows that k1 k2 correlates with (y-r) color and B/T,but does not correlate with (a4/a) for early-type galaxies.The fitted parameters and other retrieved parameters used in this paper for all sample galaxies are available online. |
