Axial ratio distribution of elliptical galaxies as computed in this work (black full line). The axial ratio distributions of galaxies visually classified by Nair & Abraham (2010) as elliptical (red line), elliptical + S0 (blue line), and elliptical + S0+Sab (green line) are also overplotted. The dashed and dotted lines represent the axial ratios of early-type galaxies from Bernardi et al. (2003) and Strateva et al. (2001), respectively. All histograms have been normalized to the same area.
