Fig. 2

Comparison between our decomposition parameters and those obtained from the GASP2D r-band decompositions from Méndez-Abreu et al. (2017, annotated as MA17). The two samples have 40 galaxies in common. The left panels show the Sérsic index of the bulge (top) and the bulge-to-total luminosity (bottom). The right panels show the bulge effective radius (top) and the disc scale length (bottom). Galaxies with disc breaks in the decompositions of MA17 are marked by empty circles. In these cases we plot the scale length of the inner disc. Objects with nb = 0 in our decomposition are galaxies that were classified as bulgeless. Objects with nb MA17 = 0 in their decomposition were either classified as bulgeless or as having an unresolved bulge. In the latter case, they were modelled by them with a nuclear point source instead. The three objects that have B/T = 1 were classified by them as purely spheroidal. There is an overall agreement between both decompositions with moderate scatter.
